 +The original 1988 oil pump body was made out of magnesium and later it was made out of aluminum but the part number for the body stayed the same. The part number for the pump assembly did change from 26203-88R to 26203-88RA at least by 2002. However, the only part number that changed between the two assemblies was the 1/4" return outlet fitting from 62570-83 to 25259-93A. \\

The right side of the pump has ball/spring check valve and 3/8" dia. oil return line to tank. The front side of the pump body has NPT plugs to block off passages from manufacturing/machining oil galleys. Can't make this pump any smaller and no reason to make it bigger, adding weight. Also the pump sits very close to the right side lower frame tube with very little clearance. \\
