So upon taking off my oil case off during my engine swap I came upon the phillips screw on the oil pump case. This baffles me that they would put a phillips screw here, anyways....as you can guess i stripped it and am in the process of using a stripped screw extractor. Does anyone know the thread type/size or even model number from mitsu to replace this thing, I would rather have the original in its place than a replacement. Any feedback would be great, thanks guys.

 

bump - need the size and thread of this or where I can order

 

There shouldn't be any phillips screws on the oil pump casing. Should all be metric hex screws.

 

He is talking about the screw that is on the actual oil pump housing that sits behind the case.

I am not 100% sure but I believe it is a 8x1.25 but do not quote me on that.

 

Anyone know if Mitsu offers this screw? And yes it is the one directly on the oil pump. And howlong it is, if i have to get a replacement I dont want it to be too long and mess with the oil pump gears

 

google for the PDF of the service manual.

 

So I tried using a stripped screw extractor and all it did was strip that damn aluminum screw down more. Anyone have any ideas at how to get this out and still have the oil pump be reusable? Anyone run into this problem before? I need to get my balance shaft out so I can send it to AMS to have them send my elim kit back. Attachment has pic
