skishop69 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) They say it's for an EA81, but I've never seen one that looks like this. Perhaps an EA71? And there's another one.... Are all EA81 oil pumps the same? I thought they were..... Edited February 17, 2011 by skishop69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Looks like an EA81 pump to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skishop69 Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 The 'nose' isn't the same. Here's a genuine Subaru EA81 pump. See the difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bheinen74 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 The one I got from Ebay 2 years back for a total of 9.15, (the pump was 2bucks and shipping was 7.15) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backwoodsboy Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 The pumps in the first post are EA81. Part # 429967100 The other pumps in the following posts are actually for EA71 engines. Part # 15010AA120 The EA71 pumps have a shorter pump shaft inside, and pump less oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skishop69 Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) The one I posted second was checked by Subaru and is listed as an EA81 pump and matches what is on my '85 Brat. Are you sure the first two are EA81? Just want to be sure before shelling out money. I just paid $50 for the second one. Are they interchangeable?

backwoodsboy Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Im actually the parts manager at the local sube dealership... and I stock the EA81 pump. Im sure. The EA71 variety may well "fit in the hole" -but I wouldnt recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Definitely an EA81 pump. They have the stepped, longer nose on the drive shaft. The other's are EA71 for sure. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skishop69 Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Well, sh*t. The information I found online and the the info supplied by the seller both said it fit EA71 and EA81 and it is part #15010AA120. I guess I have a $40 paperweight. Funny thing is, I just resealed mine (and it's leaking again, and yes I used the subie seals/gaskets) and I am 100% sure it did not have a longer snout on it, so I would have to say someone installed the wrong pump at some point in the past. I believe the pump housing to be warped as I can't get a permanent seal between the engine case and pump. Once it starts leaking and gets worse, it starts draining back after sitting for 4 hours or so and I get about 5 or so seconds of engine noise on cold start. Don't want to ruin the bearings so I decided to replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
