melling ftw.

a) they have been making internal engine parts for like 100 years
2) almost every machine shop in the country uses melling oil pumps, timing chains, lifters, pushrods, etc in their rebuilds
d) there are only a couple lifter manufacturing plants in the world, ford doesnt actually make their own, and neither does comp or crane.


btw, its the same thing with timing chains, cloyes makes chains for ford, trick flow, la gear, etc, etc, etc
