oil pump set-up specs

[TurboWh1]

Does anybody have the specs on the timing cover / oil pump?

Vortex Buick Site has all the specs you are looking for.

I'll check it out. What tolerance is everybody running between the oil pump housing and the gears? I'm probably going to install a thrust plate since the oil pump housing is scorn. I'll try to clean it up first but I want to ensure the proper clearance. I purchased an oil pump kit from the local parts store. From what I remember I've been running the yellow spring as well. I just don't want to have any issues with oil pressure with my new engine.

The link isn't working... I read some of the Earl Brown articles. What is the tolerance between the bottom of the gears and the thrust plate? I think mine is currently .001" at the moment. I noticed TA sells an assortment of gaskets to obtain the desired tolerance if it needs to be changed.
