JeffShaw Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Anyone know how to test the oil pump on a 2.0e engine. In the process of stripping the engine and am unsure as to how to test the oil pump or just try to find a new one. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickincrete Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 If its a CIH you can spin the oil pump up by removing the dizzy and turning the pump with a rod with one end slotted like a screwdriver and the other end fitted to an electric drill. Then you can spin it and look out at the top end to see the oil coming out, make sure its symmetrical . It is better if you have an oil pressure gauge to check the pressure while spinning the pump. The pump gears are also checked by measuring the gap between the gears as specified in the manual. I have a spare set of gears in good cond if your interested.

mantadoc Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 You check it by checking rotor clearance to each other and case with feeler gauges. Typically 2.0 E IIRC don't use a gasket on the rotor cover. If you do pressure goes through the floor. If you don't and and you should you shear dizzy drive pin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
