take the fuel pump off and then look on the bottom where the pump mounts for a bolt that comes out that will let the rod to come down through the block to take it out.
There is a hexagonal rod between the oil pump and distributor. As the distributor turns so does the oil pump. The newer DIS engines use a distributor plug that retains the drive gear for the oil pump rod.
You'll need to drop the oil pan to replace the oil pump. There are only 2 or 3 bolts holding the oil pump once the pan is out of the way. The oil pan is the difficult part. The pump is easy. However... Oil pumps seldom fail. If you have low oil pressure it's usually because of excessive rod and/or main bearing wear. Change to a higher viscosity oil before you try to change the oil pump.
No its rotor driven driven progressing cavity pump
bad oil pump or a spun rod\main bearing
There is a piece of metal on the connecting rod that splashes the oil around.
the fuel pump is located on the right front of the block its usually held on by 2 bolts, when you change it be carful becasue there is a rod that phisically moves the pump shaft. it can fall out and leak oil everywhere.
Yes, there is a rod that the camshaft pushes against the rod coming out of the fuel pump.
You can prime the oil pump on an 85 Buick Regal by removing the distributor and inserting a priming rod onto the oil pump shaft. It can then be turned by hand or with a drill to distribute oil throughout the engine.
bad oil pump and or main and rod bearings
No it will not.... Just remove the fuel pump push rod and install a block off plate where the fuel pump once was. That's it.
No, but you should replace the plastic sleeve.
Better pull the pan and oil pump. The rod will fall out while you are trying to align the dist. and cam gear. You won't know it till its too late. You will ruin the engine the second it starts.
