Hi Carlos,
Unfortunately the 100/6 pistons, although they would fit into the bores of
your 3000 engine would be VERY loose with about 0.160" clearance. Sorry
won't work.
The oil pump looks as though it is a gear pump which will fit any 6 cylinder
Healey but I would doubt that it is NOS. Judging from the plastic bag it is
probably a repro. NOS would have come in a BMC red, white and blue box I
think. (just my opinion)

Hi Fellow Listers,
I can use some help from those familiar with both the 100/6 and early 3000.
I'm looking for a set of pistons and found some for sale on ebay however
they are discribed as being for the 100/6. I have a very early 3000 BN7
born in November 1959, shortly after the discontinuation of the 100/6 model.
I have the 2912 cc engine. Can someone tell me if there is any difference
between the blocks used in the 100/3 and 3000 as it pertains to the piston
used?
Also, there is a NOS oil pump for sale on ebay # 7951328747 currently bid at
$175. Can someone look at the photo and visually confirm that it looks to
be for a Healey as the seller claims? I've written the seller and haven't
heard back yet. Is this a fair price?
I appreciate any and all help.
Cheers,
Carlos Cruz
'60 BN7
