    I mean I see the countersink is not good. Is it the correct angle on Srew or Countersink hole ? It is going threw the thread, so why not using Loctide for sealing the thread , and maschining the Countersink hole? Also, I can see many small edges, and shaves ? Some srews are not in Line with the head, so maschine the cone a little bit. Sometimes Galvanizing is different thickness.

    II’m not sure but if that screw is on the suction side of the pump (while running) it will draw air in. On stopping gravity will leak oil.

    Just a theory Mike but that hole looked slightly ovaled to me on the backing plate... is it possible someone has chiseled the screws out after say ronding the heads off and therefore divoting the cast around the tapper for that bolt hole?

    Have you drilled out these bolts? Conical seat in steelplate looks damaged. These bolts also need some sealing otherwise they can leak through the thread

      The bolts are in blind holes

      You are right about the blind hole. But there is no seal between the gearbox casing and the oil pump housing, so the bolt bore will fill with oil. These bolts are assembled from factory with some sealer/loctite . Thats why you have to heat up these bolts to break this product otherwise you strip the torcs

    The plate hole is not circular there's a low in the countersunk hole

  • @billb3444
    @billb3444 7 місяців тому +2

    The chamfer of the hole in the plate is quite large compared to the bolt so not 100% contact between bolt head and plate. Also, as said, may not be a true face on the plate. Sorry you missed evensong on this one. Suggest looking into Mr Jameson for a more in-depth answer.

    I wouldn’t touch those bolts and plates at any cost right now you got it to stop leaking and I swear if you touch it again it’s gonna dump like a sieve

    It's a landrover, it's supposed to leak 😉 Puddles of fluid tells you it still has some to lose.

    I hope JP finds something buckled, bent, warped or all three just so you can sleep easy.

    Could drive you nuts chasing something like that. I'd be reluctant to remove that pump again but I get that it wasn't the one the box came with. Hope something was found with the plate to explain the issue.
