You can get the new gerotor set. That is not a new pump. Even I wouldn't run that with that gear set in there... and I've been known to run some real scrap at times.

So i can buy thenew rotos from milodon and keep the pump body? Does that nick on the plate look like it can cause some trouble or it shouldnt really matter?

Im asking because I have lots of parts like this, that I got as part of a package deal when I bought a car, and Im trying to put a motor together with all of that: stage V fully ported heads, tunnel am with dual 750 carbs, new aluminum rods, new venolia pistons, milodon gear drive, milodon oil pump, stock stroke crank 440 engine, COMP ROLLER cam, etc.

On the cover I'd run a fine flat file across the surface to take off any burr - but that "dent" is not anywhere that will cause pressure loss.

Likewise with the rotor and stator, I'd clean it up and make sure they don't bind but otherwise I'd run those parts with no fears.

Clean up the ding in the pump body also. The pump body is just a housing for the stator to rotate in, it could be full of dings but as long as the stator has the proper clearance and rotates freely it won't affect performance of the pump.

Let me start by saying, I've had my share of milodon pump issues. If you want a pump that is trouble free, what you need to do is get a new gear set, and have the cover resurfaced and re-coated. I see rotational marks in the cover. That is how I can say this is not a new pump. Those minor scratches combined with the rounded edges of the gear set will have you losing the pump prime.
If you don't do these things, Than I would suggest teflon coated main and rod bearings. That way, on cold start the motor can run for a few minutes without oil pressure while you are waiting for the pump to come back to life.

I would think the cover is fine as long as that very small nick doesnt have any burrs????

And yes, for peace of mind I will get a new rotor and stator----I dont they they will be expensive and it would be the way to go if I plan on running this thing on a rebuilt engine....

the pump feels tight and there is no play between the moving parts...

Still I dont think it's junk and should be tossed away!!!
