I don't  think it's really a problem, other than the fact that it 
sticks out of the  case a bit more than the OG dished cam pump.
Even on type 3s, there's  enough room for a 25 mm pump.





My 71 Notch engine got a 26 mm Shadeck oil pump fitted to it when it was  
rebuilt. No problems with clearance. The big key is to make sure both of  the 
holes (oil pump, and case) have the same size. However, someone on the 
Samba  ran into a different issue within the last month or so, in that the pump 
body  was a little smaller than the opening, resulting in a slip fit (loose) 
pump with  the case all tightened up. Normally these should be a light 
interference fit.  Just another thing to keep an eye out for. He ended up "O" 
ringing the pump  body for a fix.
