Oil Pump lever/arm hits the motor mount strap.

[Joemt]

motor = 2009 800 CFI (from my Bare chassis build thread)

Has anyone run into this? I torqued down the motor straps prior to installing the oil pump and noticed the level/arm doesn't clear the strap. Yes I believe with the throttle you can pull it past the strap but I know it's not returning.

I did not notice this during disassembly...is it something I did? Is it because the cables are not hooked up yet?

I made a little dish shape in the strap to give it clearance.

Thanks

when the cable is hooked up it should have lots or clearance..

I just installed my dragon engine and noticed the same thing if you install the oil pump or the engine strap with out turning the oil pump arm counter clockwise first it will be on the wrong side of the engine strap...

With the oil pump cable installed the arm will never go to the left side by the engine strap.
