I'm going to start making proper use of the machinery at work 
First up, engine and redrive parts.
I want to double up the oil pump rotors. The dead simple way to do this is to make an extended cover. The extra rotor will run inside that. I am wondering if all the 6061 laying around at work would be an ok bearing surface, or should I buy some 2024 or 7075? 6061 is softer than the stock cast aluminum.
