subieman Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 While uninstalling my oil pump I broke the casting or something. Is this fixable with some gasket sealant or am I doomed to buy a new pump????? HELP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWet Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 NOT an expert, and haven't looked at any of mine, but I think that is a pump-killer. I also have my doubts that your removing could have broken it (unless you were using a prybar). Unless I miss my lazy-a** guess, that is the mounting flange on the shaft-bearing housing (not what it is really called I am sure, but should be descriptive). Unless you strong-armed this to get it out, there may be even more internal damage that got you the broken flange. Just my 2 cents, and ignore it if somone with more knowledge (or ambition ) tells you otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooziewhatsit Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 eww... that doesn't look good. I think the only way you could trust it would be to get a new one.... that being said, you can probably get one cheap at a junkyard. I know the local one here has a couple that are easily accessable, if you want to go that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLCraig Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 I am affraid that piece of your pump is Tango Uniform, it looks like it's time to hit the wrecking yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 I broke one in a similar fashion last summer. You can probably just get that plate if the main body of the pump isn't broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subieman Posted February 14, 2005 Author Share Posted February 14, 2005 Yeah I figured I needed a new pump after I heard it snap. Pnp is closed on Sundays here so I drove to Jibs house and pulled one off his parts wagon. The damn thing fell off in my hand. I have no idea why the pump on my wagon was so hard to get off. Oh well. It's now resealed and everything looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
