If thats a cummins branded oil pump and its made in china that is too bad. I too am sick of it. When ever i repair a vehicle to my full extent i try to get high quality oem parts. But sometimes it is nearly imposible or the american made equivilant cost 3 times as much. Its tough. Great project though. You do have a talented set of hands to be able to do that. Great

I don't know about everyone else looking at this project but, the fact is that i am still in "aw" about the paint job on that cummins engine! Its so smooth, how hard was it to make look like that? I was wondering how capable i would be of doing that. Im not the best artist but i can manage. Thanks!
