I thought that was your meaning. And I agree, especialy since I intend to use this drive system for several miles compared to the original designed use of the parts. There is some "slop" in the fit beteen the drive and the hex driven pump shaft, but that could invite early wear and metal shavings. So I will have to do some continuous observation of the mating surfaces. I still have to decide on my turbo drain locations. If I can locate them to the side of the MOON cover I may be able to direct the oil flow right over the spud drive/hex shaft location to bathe the connection in oil. There may be plenty of oil in suspension up there from the chain etc but no gaurantee that it would get into the drive/hex cavity. Although still no gaurantee, the oil bath would not be a bad idea.
