I run them, but you do not have to have them to run dry sump, but it is worth it though, it does not matter to me how noisy it is, I can't hear the damn thing anyways when I floor it!

Quote from geneberg An absolute must for all applications to stop cam bearing thrust wear when triple or Chevy type springs are used. They create so much load on the camshaft that the helix type gear is loaded all to one side and prematurely wears out the thrust surface of the cam bearing. In fact, on our race engine it wore out the cam bearing in just one race day. (POTL) We often resize these to fit properly and reject the bad ones. Made in the USA. http://www.geneberg.com/cat.php?cPath=6_180_2775 |

Just another note on the dry sump Oil pump setup. Make sure you use Button head allens on the cam gear to provide enough clearence for the back of the pump. |
