Legacy_06 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Hello, Has anybody replaced an oil pump in their legacy. I have an 06 2.5 GT. I'm looking for a Chiltons Manual or a diagram on it. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-BGTLimited Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I haven't done one, but its right on the front of your motor. Remove the necessary items to do a timing belt, and remove the crank pulley for the belt and unbolt it from the front of the engine, It will slide off the front of the crank. I know thats not the best walk through but it gives you an idea of what needs to be done. Basic steps not getting indepth include, Drain coolant, Pull radiator, Remove front accessory Belts, remove crank pulley, remove timing belt covers, Remove timing belt, remove crank belt drive pulley, and then remove oil pump. I may be missing something so hopefully someone who's done one chimes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Add curses when adding timing belt after replacing oil pump. And while you are doing the job replace the timing belt with a new one. It's one of those things that won't hurt you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z0rr0 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 If the oil light has come on, and/or there is a problem with the oil pump, i would question the integrity of that shortblock now.. what are the exact reasons you need to be replacing the oil pump?

TRSCobra Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I'd be willing to bet it's a pickup failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z0rr0 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 that's what i'm getting at.. there has got to be some other problem that has prompted the OP to "think" it's the oil pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Oil light usually means loss of oil pressure. Unless you're bleeding oil from the front of your engine to the point that you have no oil getting around the rest of the engine, I'd doubt it's the oil pump. My bet is either on the oil pressure switch disconnected/failed or on the pickup. If the pickup - it's time for a Killer B replacement, not an OEM one. That said, here's what you need instruction-wise.

Max Capacity Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I'd go with putting a direct reading gauge in where the oil pressure switch is and see what's really happening. Odds are the pick tube is cracked and bleeding off oil from the pan before it gets to the pump. How many miles on the engine ?

1slow06LGT Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Oil Light=Replace engine. These motors can NOT deal with low or no oil pressure. I hope its just you oil pressure sensor. Knock on wood. I'm going to have to agree with these guys above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 The oil pressure light comes on at RIDICULOUSLY low pressures. Something like 2.5psi, way too low for proper engine operation.

GTTuner Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I think I have found the root cause of pick-up tube failures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-BGTLimited Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I think I have found the root cause of pick-up tube failures. Weak metal and too much off roading? I want to check mine when I to my clutch just be be sure its ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
