Default Does this look like a bad oil pump?




Yeah, thats leaking oil. That much oil came out BEFORE the car even heated up!





The only think I can think of it being is the oil pump. That ebay kit was the bigest waste of $. I just hope like hell the pistons hold together cause that and the HG are the only two things left out of it! Needless to say that a new GENUINE HONDA oil pump will be on its way to me ASAP unless someone on here can tell me its something else.

What ebay kit? Maybe its the front main seal? Oh, and replace the timing belt now, it looks like its contaminated with oil.

There is a crank seal there to! Replace that first, no need to spend 100+ dollars on a oil pump when it just may need a crank seal. Like ^ said replace the t-belt.

This is a newly rebuilt motor. I purchased a rebuild kit from ebay and this oil pump came with it.

I am assuming you are talking about #22 on this page:

Thats the first oil put in it, I need to change it. This motor has ran only about 30 mins or so.

It just worries me that a new pump seal bit the dust sooo quick.

Dont hate on Megan. Its ok stuff.

Maybe the seal was a cheapy one? Go with OEM. i have been to Megans showroom/warehouse/main office building...and some of their stuff is actually OK. Stay away from their headers, what pieces of junk they are.

Yeah, thats the only thing it could be. I know what happened, I left the little "washer" out that goes behind the timing belt pulley. The timing belt walked over too far and took out the seal. I almost ruined my fresh rebuild on something real stoopid

On a side note you should have an external oil pressure gauge hooked up especially since it is a new motor...even if it is just temporary just to make sure during the break in everything is runnin a-OK
