You said that if the shaft for the oil metering pump is removed, the
pressure oil feed gallery has to be plugged. To do that we must remove the
front housing. How about if we still have the shaft, can we just pushed in
from the outside (with gear removed) through the shaft opening? Or just an
aluminum rod with tight fit to fill the shaft hole?
I don't have an extra front housing to look at, so I'm just guessing.

I'm wondering about the same thing. I removed the aluminum plate I made to
cover the flat area where the injector pump goes. Looking inside I see the
end of the shaft hole. Just to the left of the large hole is a small 3/16
hole. The ends of both holes are blocked by the aluminum cover. Does this
block any bypass?
