bratman18 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I was recently putting new gaskets and o-rings on my oil pump and didn't find the little spring when I took the oil pump off. Should I be concerned?! And will it work without it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralDisorder Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 It's there for a reason. It likely serves a pressure relief purpose of some sort. Without it I would expect either the engine to starve for oil, or the oil to bypass the filter. I haven't looked closely enough to see what it does but I would never attempt to use a pump without the spring. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry DeMoss Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 You may want to start over with another oil pump. I have one in my pile of subie parts if you need one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
