There are some race parts you do not want to buy the cheapest ones out there like roller lifters, valve spring, vacuum pumps and a lot of others that could fill this post up shruggy work
Buy a good one once, not like me realcrazy

Not a fan of the Areospace pump. Wafflebatter on here almost lost a World Championship over one.

I was gonna go into it again, but I see you found what I'd said earlier, lol. The Moroso I have now is a much better piece.

The biggest issue with the Aerospace pump is the vanes and case. The issue with them going away is the vanes wear off the anodizing on the case. That's why to get it rebuilt it must go back to them. If a Moroso pump starts to not pull as much vacuum you order a set of vanes and off you go...

iagree Aerospace will gladly sell you a rebuild kit anyway. If you're lucky, the case won't have deep grooves worn in it when you take it apart. If it doesn't yet, it will soon.

Guess I should have added to get it repaired properly it needs to go back to them. I have heard they are now anodized inside but not sure if that's true. The one I had years ago was NOT and it was horrible looking inside after two year use and didn't work at well at that point. Moved on and will not look back.

Thanks guys talk to my builder today he's going to get the 1 he likes I'm just a truck driver I'll let him worry with the motor.lol. he's a old school racer set 3 records and think a little different from most but builds some big bad motors..he was telling me today how he don't want to pull a lot of vacuum like most and gave me reasons why which made a lot of sense to me..
He's a g z dealer and likes morose cause of the regulatory..
