Shipping across the world is far to expensive

 

**** is expensive brother.

 

OK guys when its not one thing with this car its the next. Was putting the head on today and found out that my oil pump gear was VERY hard to turn. It would only turn with a socket and was very hard to turn. Does this mean that my pump is gone or the bearing is gone. This car is causing me more and more MONEY!

 

Shouldn't need a socket to spin that. Is the head on the car when you did this? Or was this something you were doing with everything on the car? If the head was on, timing belt and everything on then yeah that's kinda normal. It will have a bunch of resistance with the belt on. Now if the head and timing stuff isn't on, then yeah there is a problem somewhere. If you guys are doing the timing belt turn from the crank not the oil pump sprocket. The sprocket should spin pretty freely, so give us some more info on what your doing and maybe we can help ya out some more.

 

Cursed, whats good bro? Yes, the head and timing stuff were off the car and it was very hard to turn. It would turn, but not by hand only by sprocket. It would be hard to turn then the tension would ease up and then it would be hard to turn again. We were about to put the timing belt on and line up the oil pump gear marks when we encountered the problem. The crank bolt turned easy so, I know the engine isn't seized up. I am just hoping that the engine hasn't knocked. Any ideas? Cud it be that just the bearing is bad?
