Hey guys,I am overhauling my 6 bolt and was hoping to reuse my OEM oil pump as it is relatively low mileage, has straight cut gears, and everything looks great aside of this weird casting. Is this normal? It almost looks like cavitation wear to me, but I am probably just over thinking this...

Hey guys,Here is my dilemma. I have a 91 talon that we picked up from a wrecker to use as an autocross / rally car. I completely realize that these are two very different spectrums of racing, however, living in a low population area, the organization doesnt hold many events so we compete...
