    Assuming that all the CAV pumps are the same basic design these sites may help:-

    Also, check that the throttle lever on the pump has maximum travel.

    Tuning the pump may shorten the life of the engine.

    Do you have to inform your Canadian insurance companies or the equivalent of our Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency about any vehicle modifications?

    What I can't seen to get an answer on is how oversize does the bush have to be as it strikes me there must be some over/under sizing to give enough resistance when the thing is assembled

    Have you looked at poly bushes?

    On this site they are an interference fit:-

    Polybush's are fitted using normal workshop tools and equipment. Our bushes are designed to fit in the same way as original equipment bushes. Due to our interference fit no grease is needed, leaving customers with a real fit and forget solution. Where necessary, Polybush use low friction material to ensure free movement of the bush with mating components.

    their general lack of interest, understanding or both.  The sizes are external 1 1/2"x internal 1"x depth 1 3/4".

    Is the problem that you are giving them imperial not metric dimensions? Even if the bushes that you are replacing are imperial, have you looked for the (nearest) metric equivalent?

    It is very tempting but I don't want to spend too much and I have a feeling an engine that is still in a pallet would be too expensive. Good to know in case I find major problems with my engine.

    They have a good website.

    Thanks

     

    It can't hurt to ask the price, you might be pleasantly surprised.

    IIRC this vehicle has no oil filter, so that means the metal shavings will then circulate in your engine. 

    Steve,

    I can't remember but is the sump plug magnetic. As we all know, it is not a replacement for a filter but it is amazing the amount that the magnet catches.
