Oil Pump Adapter

[peter dowdle]

Kevin yes its my adapter plate that is broken where the oil line fitting screws into the cast housing as seen on the left of your photo.

Yes you can buy replacement pumps either standard , high volume or high pressure but your comment on buying a remote oil filter is also correct but you still need the item I have been chasing.

Some of the high pressure or hi volume pumps are longer in the body . There is very little clearance between the pump with adapter attached and the cross member. Approach with care.

To fit any replacement pump you have to either remove the motor or as I did support the motor with a trolley jack and remove the 2 engine mount bolts and with care jack the motor up high enough to enable the oil pump retaining bolts to be removed
