Here are the oil filter adaptors, this is right before tri-cloro cleaning, We use a sonic tri-cloromethane cleaning that also incorporates heat, This gets the oil out of the porous casting and is the key to good cohesion of the nickle, some of those are newer crown automotive adaptors and some are stock http://www.imgbay.com/sites/jeepsr4e...aptors0002.jpg

here is the tank that cleans them, tricloromethane and sonic wavelengths scour the porous casting and removes emmbedded grease! The tri-cloro boils and rises and then hits the super cooled water which condensates th tri-cloro and settles it, you cant even smell it from where the pic was taken!! Very cool
Here are some covers which have been cleaned and bead blasted to give the nickle the best possible surface condition, notice the one in the middle, it still has the harmonic balance seal, that is my personal one, i got big plans for it so i left the seal in, normally i dont http://www.imgbay.com/sites/jeepsr4ever///aaaaa0004.jpg
Here are the adaptors, notice the different casting #'s!!! this is after cleaning and blasting http://www.imgbay.com/sites/jeepsr4ever///aaaaa0005.jpg

here they are back from plating, it took several hours and is not a cheap process, this is a build up of .002 Ni. Next they will be fitted with custom fit oil gears, like the ones we sell with the hand lapping and broken edges. This is one of the final stages of building the Ultimate oiling system for your AMC V8 http://www.imgbay.com/sites/mpcrescenzo///ultimste.jpg

here i am with an end fit into the pump cavity, The gears had to be taken down .003 and the fit is less than .001 which is far greater than stock and the great thing is that it will hold that tight dimension for years, if the proper and clean oil is used http://www.imgbay.com/sites/mpcresce...aaxles0004.jpg

I also suggest using a .0085" thick gasket for the end, these can be bought with a kit from me or federal mogul under the name sealed power. Why use this gasket? When you increase the distance between the end of the gears and the oil filter adaptor pressure loss will occur, these set-ups leave the shop in better than factory specs and hold spec longer than just a new or rebuilt oil pump, anyeays here is a pic of the gasket, about gears http://www.bulltear.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=472 http://www.imgbay.com/sites/mpcresce...aaxles0009.jpg

here i am checking the bore to gear clearance,when doing a mod like this the bore must be checked and measured 3 times, here you will see teh numbers........these came in around .001 to .002 (exellent!) http://www.imgbay.com/sites/mpcresce...ewgold0002.jpg

Here is the gear end clearance, the proper way to measure this is to take a feeler guage and strait egde. Depending on the gasket between .004-.006
So, are you selling a select-fit, hand fitted oil pump/timing cover/oil filter housing set yet?
Thanks
PS: Where is your shop at?

Yes we do we sell a nickle coated cover with the lapped gears high and low pressure spring and .0085 gasket and new plunger for $320. We also will blueprint the oil pump for $20
