oil filter flange gasket, and oil pump Options

[jacksun]

hi,

my question is regarding the oil filter flange and where I might purchase the gasket

between the flange and the case?

also.

the oil pump in the image was covered in oil... does this mean that the

pump seals need replaced? or is it oil coming from the oil cooler gasket or

also from the push rod seals or the valve cover gasket... or all three..

there was no oil on the top of the engine bar between the motor mounts.

any thoughts are appreciated.

thanks

I sure wouldn't do that, nor would I advise anyone else to do it. The gaskets allow for minor surface flaws and are readily available. As for the oil on the pump, the crankshaft seal and o-ring are often the cause. I would change the oil pump gasket just because it's easily accessible at this time, and I'd do the OP switch and oil cooler seals, too.

The crankshaft seal: 021-105-247-A GPR or Pelican
The oil pump gasket: 025-115-111-A
The crankshaft o-ring: 021-119-025-A
The oil pressure switch: 021-919-081-D GPR or Pelican
The oil filter flange gasket: 021-115-359-A

I'm guessing there are folks here who have partial gasket sets that could send you the o-ring and the 2 gaskets. Not everybody does a complete overhaul when they do the top end. The o-ring is probably available from the dealer if nowhere else. Call GPR on Monday and ask Jonathan if he has any broken gasket sets.
