FYI for anybody fitting a new oil pump

[terrybullwon]

I haven't bought the ICE drive, James has, it allows the pump to rev higher and not slip at higher revs maintaining oil pressure.

Think Terrybullwon is going for a high redline

Thats right Jamo

8200rpm is possible

Interesting! Not sure that would translate to a failed bearing on only one cylinder though?

I do have my lovely £250 ABY oil pump in the garage, was thinking about making an ornament from it.

[Jamo]

Have it polished Ross, then sell it to flavour flav - Yeeeeeeeah booooooy!

[GazzaG60]

if its made in korea ross id check its got a flat seal surface.

Here's another one for you...

Just checked both of my new aby pumps...one rotates the other doesn't...

HMF...

I've kept my original pump. Tried and tested for 180k miles.

The results.

Just split the dodgey pump.

Shows signs of small metal particles and surface rust...will be fully cleaning it.

Pump looked fine out of the box, it was only when i dismantled it to lube everything i found the grit. You can feel it when you rub it between your fingers, not good.

Mark.

[mcandmar]

Yours don't look as bad, was it made in Korea too?

[Flat on my back]

.

Both my pumps are stamped 'korea'...i'll be spliting that one as well.

Looks like fine casting sand?

P.S. anyone know the torque for the screws on the inner plate now i've stripped it?

[mcandmar]

I think your right, thats exactly what it is. Looks like its soft, but feels like sand.

No idea on the torques, i couldn't find any reference. Mine had a line drawn through them with a felt tipped pen, i just cranked them by feel then made sure the lines match up. Oh and a little dab of red loctite to help me sleep at night

Been recommended this one.

My Father came up with a really good expaination when i could not find the torque settings for the backing plate.. Jst do them up tight basiclly

Why cant we get oil pumps built in Germany ?

If I wanted ****ing Korean parts I'd have bought a ****ing Hyundai or some other pissashid Korean crap.

PS - I am NOT racist - I just have no time for Japanese or Korean cars - never have - since I was a nipper I could tell they had as much soul as Dolly Parton.

my new oil pump would not fit properly. it seeped oil from the edges, i also had to file down a few bits to fit the pulley guard back on.

made in korea stamped on it.

double check the front seal new one comes with a dummy seal ( well mine did anyway)
