Oil Pump Wear Limit.....?

[VRP]

Not sure why I have to still post here in newby section but regardless I need some info from the engine building Guru's on here...

1st- What or where can I find the wear specs for a stock 4g63t oil pump (Gears and Housing)
2nd- Does the oil pump housing (the small secondary one that houses the pump gears) does this smaller housing have a Gasket....?

Thanks

no gasket. And no rtv, but I put on the lightest coat possible so that none will squeeze through.
Also locktite the bolts that hold on that rear cover. I once had them back out. It wasn't fun.

here's the clearance. Plastigauge to check it.

I used gaskets, and a bit of rtv, on my cars, n problems. Follow the manual and call it done.

So we are all on the same page...I am aware that the main (large Oil pump housing) has a gasket I have one for my re-install..
But does the small (5bolt) housing that holds the actual oil pump gears- have a gasket...If It does, then mine didnt come with one ,,and-- I cannot find a part number for a gasket in this location.....

No, there is no gasket where the actual gears are held.

Oh yeah i thought he meant the front case, long day at work, i used loctite and torqued them down i just got a new pump. No gasket, and i didnt use any sealant.

Yea front case does have a gasket. I was talking about the 5 12mm bolts and the Philips screw for the little oil pump cover on the inside. (2g's have an aluminum Philips screw that you have to drill out if you want to take the cover off)
