View Full Version : 20xe oil pump
got a rebuilt engine here every thing is new bar the oil pump as i dont know which way to go.....
1...buy a genuine gm pump
or
2...use my pump and do the SBD gear mod
any info wpuld be great :thumb:
Open your pump up and see if it is scored\ worn. If its OK redo, worn then new pump.
Use a zlet pump and pick up off Sbs for ultimate reliability

take it there already modded ready for the xe?
You get a ZLET pump which bolts on, and a modified pickup that suits the ZLET pump (oval hole instead of round?) and sits in the appropriate place in the sump
Yes required a little cutting if running the round tooth belt set up, but its straight forward or ask iof he can do it for you if your not confident
i was thinking the same question about my let i am rebuilding. not sure what to do with the oil pump just leave it alone or fit the sbd gear. for the zlet pump+pick up pipe i think it was starting to get near £400.
There's some for sale by 'Icon' on eBay for about £375. £180 for a new GM pump and £180 for a modified pickup
Edit: Which sums to £360, errr lol
Iirc steve's are cheaper than that and its a saving if it means you only build the engine once
oh well genuine pumps not longer sold according to auto vaux this morning
XE ones? Worth trying Vauxhall direct surely
ya, early GM xe pumps are no longer
only late type bloke said
haven't phoned vauxhall main stealers yet lol

make sure your seated when they tell you the price lol, have you looked into possibly using a modified z-let pump?(if its possible)
ya i have thought about as iain has said
Late one should fit just need to modify the lump on top (file it down a bit to clear the early cambelt backplate)

The genuine zlet oil pump with modified oil pickup cost £320ish with UK delivery they cam be used with early belt set up, with slight modification or direct fit with the later set up.
The later genuine XE/LET pumps are still available but they are only about £40 behind the zlet with pick up price.
Under know circumstance would I use a non-genuine mick mouse oil pump they are rubbish, if you want one I can give you one for free as I will never use it.
