hi guys I'm changing the oilpan gasket and rear main seal on my motor, and
decided to check my oil pump at the same time.
I was just wondering if anyone had something to say about that, Does anyone
bother with checking it? The manual asks for .002 clearance between gear
tooth and pump body. .002 fits everywhere, someplaces I can fit up to .004..
According to the manual I should change it, I mean it would be twice the
clearance...
I can feel a bit the grooves on top and bottom of the gears, it's hard to say
how deep they are. Also one tooth has what looks like a small chip. Maybe I
should get picture.
And then they sell a "repair kit" on rockauto, but that doesn't change the
body only the gears.. You guys think I should get a new oil pump?
SORRY about the really big pictures, but at least you can see the details.
