davebugs Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Ultra grey. But don't get carried away with it. May need a new crank seal too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbennett2u Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Ok thanks. Shawn said he would hook me up with the crank seal as well as the pump. Not really looking forward to doing this. I hate changing timing belts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnceggleston Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 use RTV ultra gray, a thin coat. you don't want globs of it to squish inside and get pumped around the engine. crank seal. oil pump o-ring. i'm sure shawn will help with this as well.

Yep - I forgot the Oring. Old ones will be smashed(one on each pump). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbennett2u Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 each pump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebugs Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 An oil pump has ONE Oring. WHat I meant was the Oring on each pump (the one you're taking off and the used one you'll be installing) will both be squashed(no longer round) and old so neither will work well. And either will likely break when you try to remove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbennett2u Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Oh ok. I think Shawn said he could get me the oring too, dont really remember was at the end of a 12 hour shift. If not oh well can get from the chain parts stores right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbennett2u Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 um looking at pics on this... do I have to pull the fricking gear off of the crankshaft in order to replace the pump? any tips on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Yes - you have to remove the timing belt and the crank sprocket. It's not that big of a deal - just slides off. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 It SHOULD just slide off. Both of my cars it slid off with little effort. I tried to get an oil pump from a junkyard car and couldn't get the sprocket to budge to save my life. Pried at it for a few minutes with a 24" prybar, broke one of the teeth off, then gave up and found a pump on another car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I've seen more stick really tight than I've seen come off with ease. Probably has to do with living in Maine, working on cars up here requires quite a bit more abuse than it should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
