20xe oil pump

[pie]

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

[pie]

sbs?

[Graeme]

Sbs (http://www.pngclub.com/forum/member.php?14396-steveboyslim)

[pie]

take it there already modded ready for the xe?

[Iain]

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

[Graeme]

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

[pie]

whats the price on it ?

[jonn]

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.

[Iain]

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

[Graeme]

Iirc steve's are cheaper than that and its a saving if it means you only build the engine once

[pie]

oh well genuine pumps not longer sold according to auto vaux this morning

[Iain]

XE ones? Worth trying Vauxhall direct surely

[pie]

ya, early GM xe pumps are no longer

only late type bloke said

haven't phoned vauxhall main stealers yet lol

[pikey1986]

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)

[pie]

ya i have thought about as iain has said

[Iain]

Late one should fit just need to modify the lump on top (file it down a bit to clear the early cambelt backplate)

[steveboyslim]

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.
