WyoSoobie Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Hey y'all! The inner flange on the oil pump drive gear on my 1988DL Is no longer attached to the gear and is just flopping loosely on the shaft. If I pulled the gear off the shaft and remove this flange completely will the timing belt run true? If I leave it on I am sure that it will eventually damage the belt. I have looked online for a new drive gear and have not been able to find one. Thanks for all the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coxy Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Surely there are a million good second hand ones available from members here with the dreaded cracked head syndrome and hence mucho spare bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyoSoobie Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 I looked thru the classifieds here and didn't see any but if anyone has one, I would feel better about replacing it than trying to fix the old one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
