I need oil pump measurements. From you.
 

Got a stock oil pump lying around? (Doesn't matter if the gears are shattered to hell.) I need some help.

Specifically, I'm looking for a measurement of the thickness of the oil pump gears. Gotta be precise- micrometer preferred, good digital calipers acceptable (but I'll make fun of you for not owning the proper tools.)

I need data from a late-production '99 or any '00 model year (non-VVT), and also from any year of VVT engine. I already have on-hand what I believe is an early-production '99 gearset (gotta check my old paperwork for the VIN).

If anybody has a late model NA, that'd be a good dataset to have on-hand for cross-referencing, too.

And if you don't have a stock pump handy from one of these years, well, you're pretty damn worthless to me then, aren't you? Why don't you just go somewhere else.

Travis measured one from a 2001 motor that I was in posession of.

I suppose that is simply circular information to you though.

PS are you taking strong cold medicine with your rum and cokes for the last couple days?

I was during the period of approximately Feb 27-Mar 2, but not since then. Why do you ask?

you've started some kooky threads lately.

Isn't there a watermelon that needs pushing out a lake somewhere? :D

If the one that he measured is the one that I measured on our optical CMM when designing the billet ones, I still have those gears in a drawer at home. I can get the thickness measurement but I don't know if they are the 2001 gears.

I think he quit the rum and is only on coke of the Columbian variety.

Is this DeLoreanTurbo.net all of a sudden?

oh lol :)

I agree. Joe hasn't been himself lately.

I got the whole pump back and sold it. So either that's not the pump or someone's got reeeeeeeeal low oil pressure right about now.

So I checked the VIN on Jessica's oil pan. JM1NB353XX0136036. According to the 10AE FAQ (the donor was a 10AE), that gives it a production date of March 25, 1999, after the cutoff point.

Now, to find the gears from the oil pump so I can measure them...

I have a blown 2001 block I'll be pulling out of the car. I could likely get you the measurements sometime after the 20th.

Shit i think i have that pump. I bought one form you pretty sure. I never installed it its in the basement. What is wrong with it now? :)

I have an oil pump for a 1.6l new I can grab measurements off tomorrow, unfourntaly I am a boy and not a man since I don't own a micrometer. ahh nvm you want newer years

M I Crometer TEN DOLLA

if you want the info i will throw a mic on my stock gear joe i dunno if it will help you in any way shape or form but i believe we all got the same gears past 1992

I think I saw a set of stock gears in the junk drawer in the kitchen today. I'll check tomorrow. They'd be out of a '99 pump if they're there (brand new stock gears out of my current pump).
