Oberdorfer 2374 Cover – OEM Pump Replacement Part
The cover is a structural and a sealing component at the same time. The Oberdorfer 2374 is the factory part, machined so that the face is flat and the fastener pattern lines up without persuasion.
Inspect the inner face for grooving where the pumping element has run. On models where the cover sets end clearance, wear there shows up as lost output long before anything else looks wrong.
Confirm the fastener pattern and port arrangement against your pump before ordering, as covers differ across the Oberdorfer range.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can a scored cover face be machined flat?
Light skimming is sometimes possible, but it changes the end clearance, so it is only worth doing where that clearance can be reset.
Q: Do I need new fasteners as well?
Renew any that are corroded or galled. Stainless fasteners in bronze can seize, and a snapped one turns a short job into a long one.
Q: Which seals fit under it?
That depends on the model. Check the parts breakdown for your pump so the cover seal and any gasket are matched to it.
Q: How tight should the cover fasteners be?
Even is more important than tight. Work in a cross pattern in stages rather than pulling one fastener down fully before starting the next.
