Hi guys.I was given a link to shiming an oil pump.Im gonna have a new one fitted anywayt by a mechanic i know and a new sump.Could someone possibly give me a link to fitting an oil pump.Basic runthrough as a guide for him? I know hes competent but not done one on an mx3 v6 before.
Thanks

Do sump at same time its easier, take sump off and pump.
1. remove timing belt
2. remove pump
3. clean pump mating surface
4. sillicone seal the new gasket
5. fit pump
6. fit sump
(*use new gaskets for everything you take off and find out the torque specs for the different sized bolts)

If he's a mechanic he will have done this before.... I'd be worried if he's asking you for help.

hes done them before but not on mx3.He just asked for the info i had if any. Said he would read up anyway to find quickest way .Saves me money.
