09sr5 Member 56 Member For: 14y 7m 25d Posted 14/08/11 12:18 PM Share Posted 14/08/11 12:18 PM I got rather unlucky and had my oilpump fail.I was fortunate to be videoing at the time and caught it all. I am presuming it broke somewhere while accelerating in 1st, perhaps as traction was activating, I don't know. It has probably skipped teeth on the cams when you'll see at 5000- 5500rpm it lost power when I realised my oil pressure guage was dropping and right before the oil pressure warning sounded. I went for the key to switch the car off and put it into neutral at the same time then heard the slap of death as the chain rattled around.Anyway, we pulled the motor out and pulled it down,Inner gear is still intact, outer gear is in bits along with the pump housing. Luckily I'd only gotten a couple hundred metres up the road so I just pushed the car home.New target is 500rwkw!

My bf f6 manual is stock for now, but planning on 350rwkw in one hit of mods, and scared this will happen to me, should I do the oil pump before hand?

Too much oil pressure splitting the housing or the outer oil pump gear breaking?
