You didn't say which engine you have but Chevrolet's oil pumps are located inside the oil pan.
Not sure, i would say oil pump or cam bearings
As much as I hate to say it, if you need to replace your oil pump, there's a good chance your engine is in need of a rebuild.
You didn't say what the problem is. But if you question the sensor, replace it, it probably cost lest than $20.
The oil pump assembly is behind the front timing cover and fits around the crankshaft snout. Needless to say, this requires considerable disassembly to get at.
well i'd say it's a dead oil pump hands down
Surely the trusty Haynes manual will say?
I would say your oil pump is not working. Assuming of course there is oil in your engine. Don't run it until you can have it checked by a mechanic because a blown engine is a lot worse than just replacing the oil pump.
Oil pumps are pretty durable but Id say if you are having a low oil pressure issue then definately. But a good high volume (NOT HIGH PRESSURE!!) oil pump is a huge improvement over stock. PLUS they are cheap. Id say its worth the peace of mind seeins how you are right there and it only takes one bolt.
Basically, it is behind the crankshaft pulley on the outside of the engine. To help visualize its' position, locate the oil filter mount. That is part of the oil pump. The timing belt, crank pulley, oil pan, and power steering pump must all be removed to gain access. Did you say you were thinking of replacing the timing belt anyway? Go for the water pump and belt tensioner too while you're at it.
I would say 10 yards easy. if the ground is flat.. if the pump is lower that the pool ? it may take a bigger pump ..use pvc. and never use tread tape on a plastic pump ! your pool pump repair guy in longwood fl.
An oil pump is completely mechanically operated, and is internal to the engine. There is no fuse, because since it is not an electrical componet, there is no electricity involved in it's operation. If it has failed, the engine will have to be at least partially disassembled to service.
