ok oil pump #2 in 100miles has locked down what the !@#$% is the problem

Was the pump primed correctly?

ya'll got any clue how tough that is to change in the car

tmajikman

oh yeah. It is probably easier pulling the motor for that job.

get the better melling pumps that have the support on the bottom cover - it keeps the gears inside from being able to "walk". then, pickup a arp hard driveshaft for 20 bucks.

problems solved

is this a new motor or one thats been run awhile. if its been run did you check the oil and such for worn parts pieces. gold is not good for sure!!!! another minor thing that gets some guys on occasions is gasket maker after its cured finding its way to the bottom end and cloging it up. was the old pump damaged anywhere. need more info
