I don't think that will run the fuel pump. The lobe on mine is after the middle bearing jornal.


Correct.

It may have just been a one off but the OEM original parts are most often best. BDA jackshafts had the annular groove standard but they also had an oil restrictor orifice in the block gallery.


Cheers for the heads up, I'd better check mine over to make sure it's got decent runout and endfloat.

Completely agree that original is best.
