Melling M54D oil pump
I just took apart a Melling oil pump to see if there were any issues before putting it into my new 463. I think you can see from the photo that the gear teeth have some striations along the leading edges, especially on the driven gear. Is this a problem that would effect the efficiency of the pump? There is also some wear on the cover where the gears make contact. I assume this is normal.
