Hey Cavu2usf,
Here's a link to a short thread on Pirate.

I'm not sure this will answer your question completely. I don't recall mine being that loose.
Are the parts new or used?
I'd call Tod at engbldr or Jerry at 22RE Performance.
Gnarls.
That's an excellent thread Gnarls. Thanks; it answered my question.
Here's a comparison of my used and my new Spline Drive Collar.
Got it from
LCE Performance, 40 bucks shipped. So, they can still be had.
There is still some play between it and the original Oil Pump Spline Drive Gear. Ordered a new Japanese Oil Pump this morning, hoping for even less after installation. Will post a video of it once all installed, for a
Before and After comparison.
