bgd73 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I am sure there are threads about this, it is well worth repeating, especially in the 20+ year old ea82s... and getting older. I found a "technical service bulletin" at an online parts ordering website about 1980-1989 soobs aerating at the oil pump due to its seals causing engone noise and inevitable failures, starting with gaskets. I summed it up with photos and an undoubted tip for the complete fix for my 87 (my loyale stayed flawless by oem build). http://93loyale.com/opump.html I enjoyed making this page- I have found the pre 1990 soobs disappeared more than all of the loyales,even of they looked fairly decent. Not only for the pain in the butt carb versions at -20F below.This oil pump aeration stuff was no doubt at the top of the list where I live. Sorry if it is a repeat for you regulars. We aren't all pros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 The airation can come from either the pump micky-mouse gasket, from worn or dirty lifters (fairly uncommon), or from the cam case seals. Especially if they are the older cam o-rings without the metal reinforcing. This one is from my 86 sedan: GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
