As seen in previous images, the oil pump has seen better days
As usual, my choice of cleaning agent was E85 and rags
Before and after of the rear cover
Cleaned the rear main seal/cover while I was at it
Everything cleaned up and ready to install
New seal vs old seal
I used the inner oil pump gear to seat the seal in as it had the same diameter as the seal
Balance shaft plugged
Wasn't a fan of the black cover for the balance shafts and wanted to keep everything uniform so gave it a silver treatment
Relief valve lubed up and inserted with spring
Gears lubed and inserted
Cover back on, threadlock applied to screws and we're all good
Cleaned up the mating surfaces for the pump & applied sealant before installing (not picture because you only have 5 minutes to work with the sealant or else you have to remove it and do it again)
Pump on
Sealant for water pump mating surface
Oil/Water pump on aswell as the manual tensioner (replaced the auto hydro one)
