Ok, so lucky I’m anonymous online so I don’t feel too much like a goose for my oil pump cock up. As predicted above, the tapered cylindrical o ring was completely missing and I had actually put silastic on the inlet side of the pump. I took the opportunity while in there to do the oil pump mod as described on this forum so hopefully I get more flow. Well at least better than zero flow.
I tell you what though - getting that E clip off to remove the clutch was impossible. I had to cut it off with a dremel. I think I may have also got some of that clutch install wrong - can someone share some picture of how the clutch parts go in - particularly the thin black washer that goes over the worm drive for the oil pump? It looks like it goes on two ways and I suspect I had that wrong too which made the whole lot sit a touch too high.
