How would I know if I have a slot or pin driven oil pump?
I keep getting tempted by shiny new cams, but dont know which drive I have!
Is there a way of tellin by the engine number?
Any ideas?
Without stripping out the cam.....

Basically the early ones were pin drive (60's), then came the Star (70's ish), and with the introduction of the A+ the Slot (80's on )
But, this is not always the case...but fairly close.
But if you're replacing the cam, then there's no reason not to change the pump aswell, so you can get a machin pair !!

Ah, I see. Thanks for that, mine's an A+, late 80's. I am really pushing my budget buying a cam, so an oil pump as well is gonna be a stretch. We'll see though. Thanks for that!

I tend to think it's a good idea to swap the oil pump every time the engine's in bits (unless it's really new). It is what keeps your motor alive after all.....
