I read about all the horrors of the D16Y8 and the pump sucks, along with the lubrication system that was made with it. I have been looking forever and still havent found my answer.

Can you swap a D16Z6 oil pump onto the D16Y8 block? If so then this would solve some of the bearing failure problems that occur on these engines. But as a down side, I do not know if the increased flow from the Z6 pump will make pressures too high going into the crank. So I do not know if anything bad may happen. Anyone on here have a clue? Im getting my Y8 next week and have 2 spare Z6 pumps, I want to fix the failure problem and not deal with it again. atleast not for a while.

 

BUMP

I am hoping that someone on here knows info on this

i also have a question about the "Toga High Pressure Oil Pump". Has anyone used this? How well does it ACTUALLY work?

 

yea you can. and yes the y8 pump does suck.

 

FYI. You can not put a D16Z6 pump on a Y8 block. The lower piece on the front lower side of the pump that is half mooned that goes towards the oil pan is different size. Also the Y8 pump is wider .

Im pretty sure of this because when i was cutting up my morso D16Z6 oil pan to put on my Y8 it did not fit on the front side. This was 3 years ago so im trying to see if i can find some pics for you.
