There are a lot of choices today when it comes to oil pumps. The aftermarket is full of options (no secret we’re sure). And yes, there have been countless innovations over the years.

Taking a few simple precautions can go a long way toward avoiding a trip to the local medical clenic or the ER. Check out the following. We’ve laid out 40 safety-first shop tips. Like them or not, they can save you some band aids…or worse. Here’s the first of our four-part series.
Part 3 of our deep dive into Jesel’s Steel rockers dives into rocker geometry.
