first i'd like to thank those who offered up help on getting the timing pully off. THANKS! next i'd like to share what little i learned about getting the little bugger off. after reading all the experiences and solutions for the problem, i figured there was no easy way to get it off. so i figured out that if i drilled a hole thru the pully parallel to the keyway that it might make cutting the last bit of material easier. i centerpunched the pully(felt really good to put some hurt to it for a change) then i used two diffrent sizes of drills with the last one only leaving about .050" of meat on both sides of the hole. then i drilled a couple of holes perpidicular to the shaft to remove more material. then i got out the trusty dremmel and finished the cutting. a couple of wacks on the back side of the oil pump, and off it came. the whole actual process once i got to work on it took all of 15 minutes.thanks again for your help
