zukiru Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 Well. Time to re seal the oil pump... I had a brief reprieve from the death tick. But it came back. Not nearly as loud and it went away again.... XT is getting bored with commuting.... :-\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zukiru Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 Mickey mouse gasket arrived! Cross your fingers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdweninger Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 My EA82 oil pump rebuild included the mickey mouse, another o-ring and a brown seal. Easy to reseal the oil pump completely once you have it removed. Nice find, for free? And I thought I was 'stealing' them for $200. ok... gotta go check craigslist for FREE stuff.

zukiru Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 The o-ring i sourced for the pump. (not the Mickey but the regular one) was too fat. And i didn't make any oil pressure. So... I guess I'm gonna by an oil pump set. Sucks though cause i don't think any thing is wrong with the pump itself... Just all the rubber. This daily driver is working out to be a project all its own but its cool I'm learning a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l75eya Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Good luck. Damn that car is clean.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdweninger Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I got my oil pump gaskets/orings directly from the dealer. They are in Portland, OR about 80 miles away (the nearest dealer). They mail me the parts I order via USPS. Cost a buck to mail the Oil Pump parts. I wish RockAuto would use USPS. I'm tired of paying Fed-X $28 shipping for a few ball joints and tie rods. I checked CL for free stuff... no Subarus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zukiru Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 well it seems that resealing the oil pump completely was not enough to stop the dreaded tick. I might have a bad oil pump.... my new daily driver that was supposed to give me time to work on the XT... is turning out to be a bit of a headache. But man she's pretty.

l75eya Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Eh, is the tick bad? Constant? I mean, you can put it off for a bit. I drove with TOD for about 5 months before finally putting a new pump on there and enjoying the peace and quiet again.I mean if it's too much trouble though...I could take a drive out there and rid you of the pest. =P(I'll stop bugging you like that now. I just wanted to throw one more in there lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zukiru Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 Weird... After the pump seal i let it sit up a few days. Started it back up and the tick is gone. Now i haven't driven it much yet. But i think it may be cured. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l75eya Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Did you drive it around much after the reseal? Took a bit of ..."exercise"...after my various re-seals for the tick to stop.Funny yours stopped after sitting! My cars tend to do the opposite =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zukiru Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 Gotta recheck my timing... Runs like poo. But the tick seems to be gone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractor pole Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 the TOD I had was still there after I installed a new oil pump and put it all back together and took it out for a "spirited" 10 minute drive and when I returned it was gone. It's almost strange the first time you hear it running with out all that noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
