Then Thursday morning rolls around (oh shit NCCAR is this upcoming weekend, HAS TO be done tonight so I can leave for the track friday). So I drop by RRT and they have the final parts in, whew! So I grab the box and run home....



First things first, I install the 2 brackets that go to support the pickup tubes on this euro pump, these go underneath main bearing bolts, remember to always have your torque wrench ready!




New VAC shaft upgrade with proper sprocket for US S52 motor...


Install pump on motor...(in these pictures its missing one pickup tube that gets installed later)




Install sprocket on pump, and put bolt in counterclockwise threading (VAC Shaft upgrade makes it a bolt for safety use instead of crappy stud on stock). Use loctite and torque to 18ft/lbs.
