Just took my stock flywheel off my b16, replacing with lightened unit. Now what is the pump looking thing behind the flywheel? Do I need to replace that? Should I?

 

pump behind the flywheel...am i missing something. I don't remember anything like that. You sure your talking about the flywheel and not the crank pulley?

 

yeah behind the flywheel is the main oil seal....behind crank sproket is the oil pump.

 

He may just be refering to the plate the flywheel bolts up to. Who knows, never seen any pump there.

 

Should that be replace, I just bought the motor from Hmotors...Yea it like the plate that bolt to the flywheel.....

no just bolt your new flywheel on and enjoy the quicker revs

unless of course its leaking oil like a civ, replace the seal in that case

 

replace the seal. it's preventive maintenance. it's not that expensive.

I don't like chinsing when it comes to my car. Her name is Desiree BTW...

 

plate the flywheel bolts to? thats the crank....is the engine from an automatic?

 

he means the mounting plate for the flywheel.

I've never done it or even looked into or know anything about it. But what about the pilot bearing, i think he should replace that....but I don't know I may be stupid and it comes on the flywheel or something.

But yea, you might as well replace that seal wile your in there. I think I might cause I need a new trans even though I have no leaks whatsoever.

 

Usually that little baring comes with a clutch kit (I know CM gives you one) and yes you should replace that as well as the rear main seal.

 

throwout bearing almost always comes, and always do the main seal, cheap preventive maintenance

 

Yes my exedy clutch kit came wit the pliot bearing which was replaced on the lightened unit already, no the plate is not leaking, it looks fine to me, Thanks for all the replies

 

Definitely replace the rear main seal...

Don't want this to happen to you:

 

also make sure to get a helms when replacing the rear main seal. i believe it's has to be within a certain spec so your flywheel doesn't contact and **** it up

 

Ok, got that on order, Thanks guys for all the replies....

 

yea, i never even attempted to put the pilot bearing in, although every kit I got came with one. I never even bothered taking off the flywheel this time.
