Would this Oil Pump fit my C16SE??

[tom_bish]

I've broken my oil pump and was looking on Ebay for a replacement.

I came across this..

Which looks v similar to the one i took off pictured below

Can anyone confirm if it will fit. Cheers, Tom

IIRC yes but i wouldnt go fitting a second hand oil pump to anything, whats gone wrong with you origional ?

[tom_bish]

I stupidly overtightened the pressure sender and cracked the casing.

I agree it's not the safest thing to do but i'm not keen on paying loads for a new one and i've bought the engine secondhand anyways.

Oh right well you can get repair kits for the pumps so if you bought it i would put a repair kit on it before you fit it chap theyre not expensive and alot cheaper than a new bottom end

But a repair kit wont include an outer pump body casting.

I'd be wary of ebay parts, often dreadfully poor. Source one from a factors with a receipt & ease of return/comeback.

ok mate any idea where you can get these repair kits from ?
