It appears that there is a conflict in most if not all the Commando factory workshop manuals regarding the torque for the oil pump nuts. Section A calls for 15 lbs./ft., but Section C30 calls for 10 -12 lbs./ft. That issue has been resolved, but another issue cropped up.
Are 850 Mk III oil pumps secured via studs and nuts, as older models, or do they use bolts and washers? Or were both methods used?
I'd like to start a survey of Mk III owners and anyone who has removed the timing cover from a Mk III 850 engine. How is the oil pump secured in your engine? Please reply with year and month of manufacture and/or engine number. I need this information to make accurate comments in my edit of the 850 Mk III workshop manual.
