Re: [BaadAssGremlins] 232 oil pump problem

[Terry Atkins <twa1950@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well I can tell you one thing it is not normal for the oil pump to be going out. Knock on wood of all the old junks I have own I have only had one oil pump go out. I have no idea why they would be going out unless it is just poor construction from the factory. If nobody has any suggestions I am like you I would be tempted to put the old one back in it. Seems a shame though. Sorry I wasn't any help.

Hi guys. Long time no post. I have a problem. I have less than 900
miles on my rebuilt 232 engine and just today its 2nd _brand new_ oil
pump crapped out. Thank god I was already in my driveway.

The first new oil pump died within 5 minutes of operation and the
engine had to be pulled to replace it. Now this. Again.

Is this common? Is there a reputable company someone can refer me to
that sells replacement oil pumps for this engine? I am absolutely at
wits end. I'm tempted to put the original pump back in it (I kept it).
