So timing cover is off and keep tossing up whether I should do oil pump. It's a zf auto that doesn't see limiter very often but yeah want some opinions from others on here. How much extra work is involved and would you go the extra ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard (through Facebook) that it's possible to take off the engine mount bolts and lift the engine slightly.This can give enough room to get to the pickup. Anyone have ate experience with this or can see it as a bad way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around $300 saving for exchange option without having my ute off the road plus I get experience. Winning! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowxr6t Member 515 Member For: 5y 4m 15d Location: New zealand Posted 21/06/19 05:21 AM Share Posted 21/06/19 05:21 AM So I'm thinking of replacing my fgx xr6t oil pump myself on my hoist with a complete atomic forged unit. So is the difficult part removing the x member under the engine? Why is it difficult? What can go wrong? Is the engine mounted on the cross member? Does the engine need holding up/ supporting with straps or a engine crane or what to take sump off? Anyone replaced the oil pump with engine still in car? Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
