After looking into my County MGA oil pump it will be going back.   I contacted
the distributor
and he said that they will check the replacement before they send it out to
me.  He asked me
if the pump showed any lubrication inside.  It did not.    
 
My pump was already showing wear on the flat  top half of the pump,also  a bad
scuff mark in the cylinder that I could definetly catch a knife blade on and
two of the lobes of the rotor had surface corrosion.
 
Thanks to the suggestion to check  these things out.  The  external visual
appearance sure leaves a lot to be desired compared to the 4 original used
pumps that I have,but the internal
rotors looked ok ( except corrosion)  and the rotor clearances were with
in specs.
