Hey guys...

I'm pretty certain that I have a failing oil pump.
Any ideas if this is something easily done, or does the engine have to
come out?

It could also be bad pulley bearings.. In this case, hard change out?

Costs?

Thanks in advance!

 

free bump cuz id like to know

 

It can be done with the motor in the car....you will have to remove the oil pan, oil pick up, *possibly the uper drivers side mount, timming belt cover, timming belt, main pully, then all the bolts holding the pump in, then the pump will come right off. Not somthing I like to do while the motor is in the car, but it CAN be done.

 

I've done it...only took me about 40 min after all the fluid was drained. Good luck

Why do you think you have a bad oil pump? An oil pump is just a gear and not anything mechanical like a fuel pump is. Unless it shatterd.

how 's your oil pressure ?
check your oil pressure at idle...oil pump hardly fails under stock style driven car, unless you're revving to 10K, it may be another issues...

Getting the crank pulley bolt off while the engine is still in the car is a major pain, unless you have a compressor and an air gun.
