looking for info and opinions on replacing oil pump after rod failure.
Had a look through workshop manual and it mentions cleaning oil passages and replacing oil cooler but didint see any information on oil pump.
There aren't really the same inaccessible particle traps/crevices/passages inside an oil pump so a dismantle and a good clean will deal with anything stuck in there. I guess while it is apart check for serious looking scoring that may have been caused by bits of con rod passing through.
Press a new seal in before putting it back on, the seals don't seem to like being re used even if they are only a couple of years old...
Agree with above.if there is no visual defects I would clean it and put it back together.once it's fitted I would turn the engine over with no plugs and see how much pressure it's building before you start the engine.
that would be mine plan of action .As fare as I know them pumps should be preety robust units .
