Re: Fitting a 2l oil pump in 1.6
Apologies. I didnt see this message. Its another motor. The one you talking about ran a slight bearing so i decided to take it out and rebuild it when i have time.buggyfan wrote:Kyle is this the same engine where the headgasket was put on wrong way round blocking the oilport to the head?
This motor thats in now is the same 1.6 EM that i bought as a rebuild. Suppose to be just put in and go but that was never the case and having endless issues. Im driving it as is with the low pressure. Will probably get a bearing knock in the future but i cant afford to have it standing.
Didn have a chance to check the oil pumps relief valve out but i doubt thats the case as I've tried 3 different pumps already

I also had endless issues trying to diagnose low oil pressure. At the end of the day we found the cam saddle clearances were way out of spec.

So anything under 0.1mm is fine then as long as its torqued to spec
