TYPE-R OIL PUMP ON LS/VTEC HELP!!! - Honda-Tech

Boosted_CRX_507 · 09-29-2008, 02:10 PM

just swapped a fresh ls/vtec into my crx, is got all new seals and gaskets and built bottom end, i have a oil leak coming from around the oil pump, not exactly sure from where, i made the gasket for the oil pump with rtv all around, its a preety big leak...should i remove the crank pulley to see where its really coming from???

anyone had this problem??

i get the feeling you didnt measure any clearences .

did you check the oil pump to make sure the o-ring was good ?
did you check the seal on the oil pump that the crank slides into ?

take a picture

Boosted_CRX_507 · 09-29-2008, 07:38 PM

isnt that o-ring/seal you are talking about the same thing???

its a brand new oil pump so i didnt really check.

tony413 · 09-29-2008, 07:57 PM

the seal does not come with the pump you buy it. its redish in color

Boosted_CRX_507 · 09-30-2008, 09:24 AM

the seal came with my oil pump, do i have to put rtv around it or something?

heres pics of it

your missing a black oring at the left most tip of the pump.

also when you install the pump you need to check for .002 clearence all the way around the crankshaft seal

doesnt leak from the seal, toook the crank pulley off today

most likely is coming from that o ring, dont understand why, i have rtv gasket maker all over that shit

Boosted_CRX_507 · 09-30-2008, 05:11 PM

#18......yes you need it......you have an oil leak right?

tony413 · 09-30-2008, 09:38 PM

yes you need that o-ring as pisture above in #18

RTV sealant isnt going to cut it PERIOD

you have oil that flow thru that part of the pump

Boosted_CRX_507 · 10-02-2008, 02:35 PM

thanks for the help man, ill be pulling off the oil pump today, ill let you know how it goes.

tony413 · 10-02-2008, 08:48 PM

no problem make sure you have ATLEAST two .002 feeler guages

when checking the end play of the crank seal place the feeler guages on opposite sides of each other and walk them around the crank seal

Boosted_CRX_507 · 10-05-2008, 07:51 AM

yo dude, everything went smooth, cranked the car back up, no leaks at all, drove it around for the first time cameback and there was no leaks.

i have a small little tiny leak that i beleive is coming from the oil pan gasket, i bought a cheap ebay one so that might be it. but its no biggie

thanks for the help

IntegraType-R · 10-05-2008, 10:57 AM

Amazing what common sense does.

I get the feeling your not following a HELMS manual.

You must tighten the oil pan bolts/nuts in a specific sequence to even the pressure applied to the gasket. I've used a cheap Autozone oil pan gasket in the past, install it correctly and have no leaks.

Boosted_CRX_507 · 10-06-2008, 05:35 PM

well dude, i tighten them in that sequence and i figured that it wanst leaking anything, it was just oil there from when my oil pump was still leaking fallin on my driveway.

so my ebay gasket is good.
