Sportster Oil Pump Comparisons
Comparing 77-85, 98-06 and 07 and up Pumps
With a 98 style gasket on the 79 pump, the gasket fits nice and snug as it should be. 1)
A 1-1/2“ hole was cut into an aluminum plate with 4 holes tapped to mount the pump.
Both the 79 and 98 pumps were bolted to and outlined on the aluminum sheet. 2)
The mounting surfaces are compared below.
The red circle indicates the projected oil entry hole in 77-90 engine cases.
The last pic is a projected lineal of 3/16” from the outside upper edge of the 98 style pump to the center of the entry hole in the case. 3)
