All,
I am looking to change the oil pump as a way to up my oil pressure. I understand that this may well not help, but having a new oil pump around is OK. With that in mind, what are my options? I will pull the motor but hope to not split the case. Is this even possible? Which pump? Thanks Peter |

Revisit my post #14 in your original thread.
You need to understand what is causing your issue before simply hoping for a better pump. Do you know what your current oil pump end clearance was? If you’re hell bent on buying a new Type 1 pump blindly, have the vendors measure the pump OD with a micrometer and get one that is the proper dimension. A couple thousands of an inch undersize is a huge deal and amounts to an internal leak that limits oil pressure - especially when hot and especially at idle. WRT to the question about splitting the case. You don’t have to split the case to swap an oil pump. |
