I think I have decided that my problem lies in the oil pump assy. When I start up the car, it makes kind of a loose/wobbling metal sound. I cant find anything else that would do this, Im thinking its the oil unit inner/outer rotors having too much space between them.

When turning left... sweeping turns, my oil light will come on. And now it stays on for a second after the car is started, then goes off. The sound only lasts for 1-2 seconds until oil pressure builds up.

Would you guess that the oil pump assembly would come with new rotors? They arent showed in the picture.

Anyone know if it would be the actual pulley/gear (#2) that i should replace, or the whole assembly(#5)?


Car has been running good, I just dont want to end up breaking the pump. I dont think a oil pump gear would make a sound like this when starting though... And it doesnt look like I could just buy the gear separately. Any insight?

Are there any aftermarket oil pumps for h22?

 

the pump wont do it. You wont hear the oil pump unless you used the same failing pump on a dozen motors before the noise. My point the gears are more oiled than any component. I think it is more pheasable to think your main berrings are torn up from a factory flaw of matching bore to color berrings.
