I'm just wondering if i need to buy a new one, i'm doing a minor rebuild on my 2.4L engine, i'm putting new bearings, seals, and rings. has anyone heard of a oil pump failing or wearing out? How much are they at auto zone or napa?
Yeah, I would replace it. Just check autozone's website for the price.
yeah they can wear out.......if im not mistake there is a TSB from GM on oil pumps causing a no-start condition......i forgot what exactly what it said......something with high oil pressure causing a no-start due to a check valve or something.......let me check at work for it and ill see for sure...
If you are rebuilding the engine with new parts, then go ahead and put a new oil pump in there. Just some insurance to make sure those new parts and the rebuild last a long time.
