Hi folks.

Can anyone tell me what the gasket thickness is for the oil pump for my 1600 twin port type one engine. I need a set like tomorrow and I intend to buy some paper and cut some myself (I can do it OK, Ive done it lots before)

I used .003" gasket that came with my gasket set, i just made sure that the front of the pump housing was level with the gears, the gasket gives you the clearence.
