G'day,
I went to prime my oil pump today using my gutted distributor, when the pump turns at slow speed i can hear a tapping noise quite clearly... a quick burst of speed with the drill and i can feel the vibration. I grabbed a screw driver and turned the pump by hand and can feel a the tight spots as the gears mesh, it still makes the tapping noise as i turn it by hand. Is this normal?!?
The pump is new and I'm using 20w-50 oil.
