Picked up a new to me engine and am cleaning it up getting it ready to put into my boat and when I pulled the fuel pump I found this plate (see pictures) installed. Has anyone ever seen one before? Any idea on the purpose? It looks like it is blocking oil from getting to the fuel pump which I don't think is good. One of the reasons I was pulling the pump was that is looked a bit discolored compared to the rest of the engine and I suspect it was because it was getting to hot due to lack of oil in the lower part of the pump but maybe I am just making stuff up. The pump from my other engine is in better shape and I planned to use it instead but am not sure what to do with this plate.
Thanks!
Thanks!
