One strange thing I noticed that may point to the pump is... if I rev it manually, slowly moving up to there 1000 rpm should be, it doesnt change at all then spikes to 1000 then drops off even if i`m still holding the lever, anyone know what that is?

My car shook so hard at idle it felt like the front wheels were hopping off the ground. I set the idle to 850, pulled the stupid urethane inserts out of the new rubber mounts he put on, replaced the front an rear mounts with rubber ones, and aligned the mounts as best I could. Now it just tries to rattle the dashboard in half.
Yet, another reason I hated the earlier bodies. Set your idle up to at least 1,000. Make sure your exhaust has good rubber donuts (with closed centers) and get on with your life.Better yet, move up to a Mk. II body.Better yet, buy me out of all of my cars and mountain of parts and let me get on with MY life.........
several engines i`ve pulled apart have had fairly wild stock piston & rod weights.
