It will be interesting to see what you actually get. My bet is that 
you'll get a 25 mm pump, NOT an OE late style 26 mm pump. They really 
won't fit with a flat cam, there's just not enough room. BTDT.

They probably tried it and it worked just fine, but you have to keep 
in mind that they, and 95% of their customers, never see temps below 
40 F.  ;-)
