oil pump piston
I had my oil pump relined and I have a good oil pump piston. My question is should I lock the piston pin to keep from tearing up my new bore. And what is the best way of doing this? Thanks Rick
Re: oil pump piston
Rick, I was thinking about that also.
The oil piston pin is a full floating design, so the pin can move and hit the bore. I couldn't see an easy way to keep it in place, not enough room to put a keeper or plugs. Was thinking about using a punch and staking the pin in place, but was worried about the pin getting stuck and not floating and spinning.
I kept mine stock, but polished and buffed the end of the pin, so when it touched the bore it would slide easier.
Keep a good oil in your car 20w-50 with Zinc and change it alot.
Should be good for another 70K miles.
How did you sleeve the bore and with what?
