Original oil pump go pow!


Ahh well, good excuse to rebuild an engine! :D

how did u know it was your pump? no oil pressure?

[FamiliaGT]

The pump started making a little noise and from morning startups could tell it wasnt pumping very good, enough, but not as good as it should. It also blew the gasket that faces the block. In this case it was puking oil from it.

Mike!! What do ya think? Recognize her? :D Its commin along, and im trying to be as conservative as possible as so far as appearance.

Hopefully she will see paint within the next year if finances are in order.

I do have one question for you. When you owned this car, what was your goal with it? Lightly modded sleeper, DD, or anything else?

At first I was going for a total sleeper. Everything I did to it was done within the first 3-4 months of owning it. I was satisfied enough with it that I just didn't do much else after that except drive it. It was only a daily driver on and off when I wasn't driving the Escort.

I finally got the ground control coilovers that I got from LN323(Thanks Man!).

Few minor rattles to clear up, but otherwise, it works great!

The car is hot.

Well quick update,

Installed my Hi/Lo Beam HID kit to replace my low beam kit. Also replace my leaking thermostat gasket, and going to replace front crank seal and do its first full oil change tomorrow. Also getting a Earth Grounding system as well as all new Vacuum lines.

Eventually, Ile be looking into a Mega Squirt system, a ported, polished and cammed head, as well as possibly a T3/T4 Turbo or maybe just a GT2871R. Turbo is undecided.
Hoping for some big numbers hopefully, and from a 2200lb sedan, that will be scary quick.

Could it be a bpt swap, standalone engine management or both
