Yep
Engine side !

OK.
So now I'm confused.
What year went down to 1/16" on the engine side?

"But if you did and with the pump connected, remember the cam chest port in the front of the pump drops down into the same gears from the sump."

That's a great point - actually it could run through there pretty quickly. It amounts to probably the equivalent of a 3/16" hole between those teeth. It wouldn't surprise me if a half a quart could get through there in 10 minutes. Not that there was that much in the cam chest, but whatever was would have certainly made its way to the sump.

So now it's starting to make a little more sense.

Im still going to keep on the list of things to check during assy - the oil tank vent test and pump test i just mentioned. Because I had wetsumping before the rebuild, and if I have it again I want to at least rule those things out.

Hippy he said 0.025, not 0.25

I will legit measure mine on Saturday, but for now im gonna say about 1/16
