 +===== Oil Pump Check Ball Seat Lapping Tool ====== 
 +**Homemade check ball lapping tool**: \\ 
 +The tool on the left is a homemade check ball lapping tool used to lap the seat where the check ball sits in the oil pump (57-76). ((Toolmaker of the XLFORUM https://www.xlforum.net/forum/sportster-motorcycle-forum/sportster-motorcycle-era-specific-and-model-specific/ironhead-sportster-motorcycle-talk-1957-1985/72481-i-m-sick-and-tired-of-wet-sumping?t=499487&highlight=check+ball+lapping+tool)) \\ 
 +It's made with a tool steel shank and a 3/8" carbide ball tip on the end. \\ 
 +The pocket for the ball to sit was cut with a 3/8" ball end mill then a few drops of Loctite 404 to keep it there. \\ 
 + 
 +**Check ball seat burnishing tool**: \\ 
 +The tool in the middle is a check-ball seat burnishing set. ((DaWind of the XLFORUM https://www.xlforum.net/forum/sportster-motorcycle-forum/sportster-motorcycle-era-specific-and-model-specific/ironhead-sportster-motorcycle-talk-1957-1985/109149-oil-pump-check-ball-seating/page2?t=1013445&page=2)) \\ 
 +The idea is to turn the ball into the seat several times, thereby smoothing it to a very fine finish. \\ 
 +It works quite well with these old check valve seats, but you can and do use quite a bit of force with the cast iron for a good result. \\ 
 +The aluminum bodies on the Sportster pump would require a somewhat gentler application of the wrench. \\ 
 +But the result would be a micron finish on the seat that will hold those slippery oil molecules. \\ 
 +Problems with this procedure include factory machining of bore and seat rather badly out of alignment on a few pumps. \\ 
 +And pitted or damaged seats that no amount of force will correct. \\ 
 +You'd probably need a lathe, a tap set and the ability to braze or silver solder to make your own tool. \\  
 +Although you might drill out and tap an un-needed pump nipple for part of the tool. \\ 
 +You can indicate the bolts in the chuck, face off the ends and then center drill them to provide a concentric pocket for the sphere to rest in. \\ 
 +Then, hold the whole mess in tension between centers as you soldered. They surely have to be straight or they aren’t much use. \\ 
 + 
 +**Check ball tester and oil pump prelube tool**: \\ 
 +The tool on the right was made as a check ball tester and oil pump prelube tool. \\ 
 +With this tool, all you have to do is use a grease gun (without grease) filled with oil and pump it into the system so a dry start can be avoided.
