ENGINE OIL PUMP REPLACEMENT GUIDELINES DURING
SHORT BLOCK REPLACEMENT
This bulletin provides guidelines to Engine Oil Pump replacement during Short Block
replacement or internal engine repair.
* NOTICE
A new or remanufactured engine sub-assembly (long block) is shipped with a new
oil pump already installed, so this bulletin does not pertain to the installation of
new or remanufactured engines.
Please refer to the appropriate Parts Catalogs for applicable part numbers and
descriptions of related parts.
* NOTICE
Refer to TSB ENG 042 published March 2009 (Remanufactured Engine Program)
for details. Depending on the engine diagnosis results, the repair may not
require a short or long block replacement to resolve the condition.
2. If a short block replacement has been determined as the repair option with any of the
following conditions, then ALWAYS replace the oil pump with a new pump.
* NOTICE
If the front main oil seal is found partially pushed out from the front case
assembly, you should check for excessive crankshaft thrust endplay before
replacing the seal.
• Visually inspect and clean the Oil Pickup Screen Assembly, replace only if damaged.
• (For engines using front case assembly oil pumps) inspect and re-tighten the machine screw
fasteners of the new oil pump cover if necessary.
• (For engines using front case assembly oil pumps) inspect the connection between the front case
assembly and the oil screen assembly. Replace the oil screen gasket if necessary. Re-tighten the
bolt fasteners of the oil pickup screen if necessary.
* NOTICE
Proper sealing of the oil pump cover and the oil
pickup screen to the oil pump front case body is
important to ensure proper oil pressure delivery
during engine operation.
