That front pump damage,,,,do you have it resurfaced or replaced with a new / good used unit ?
Looking forward to the continuing lesson....

I buy reconditioned pumps from WIT (Whatever It Takes), I used to have the fixtures to resurface these pumps, But it's not worth my time when you can buy a reconditioned pump for $150 that has a new 13V pump kit & new Stator Bushings.
Whoever machines these does an excellent job & Rotor Clearance is have always been within spec.....Though I check every one!!
They do have Cast Iron Pump Rings installed which I swap them for OE 4L60E ones or if it's a performance/Hi RPM build I use TransGo "Unbreakable" Rings.
Also has a cheap Aluminum pump bushing that gets swapped out for a DuraBond seamless bushing.
I keep good used 300mm pumps around, But 298mm builds have slowed to the point it's not worth keeping any 298mm specific stuff around. Though technically you can swap a 298mm Stator Support into a 300mm pump......But a Sonnax Stator Support is @$100.
