Mike.. Mr muscle oven cleaner, followed by your mum's dishwasher.. You know it makes sense, but the tea cups might taste funny for a couple of days..

Ive just stripped the pump down Mike & the casing cracked :S looks like when it was fitted by whoever theyve Heman'd the bolts up & its split the casting.Originally Posted by mowgli
Another PITA, short block is soooooooooooo close to being finished to!
Its enough to make you want to kick something when you find out a bodger was there first...
Well I was sold the engine as non runner for £80 anyway so wasn't expecting it to A1 condition. Altho, on the whole it actually was amazingly :S only damage Ive found so far is (now) this oil pump. Piston crowns are fine, all valves were intact, head is fine etc.
Fair enough
Got the mamoth task of making an £80 engine run 13.5 or less LOL pissing in the wind comes to mind
Right so, got a new pump this morning...
However, the old one Ive got had take off for oil cooler, a new one he was supplied with the car has no take off for oil cooler but fits my XE block & crank fine? With regards to a relief valve type affair though, well there isnt one on the new pump???

Is it a case of simply putting a sandwich plate on my new & Im away as I could do with getting this bottom end tied up & done ricky tick now.
EDIT: Looking at 2.0 8v & 16v oil pumps on the FAI parts catalouge (website) they all look the same as to what Ive got here?

Yes swap sandwich plate to new pump if you want a cooler, just use the long bolt that goes through the middle of it. Or if you're not bothered about a cooler don't bother
Relief valve, take the one out your current pump and fit that?
