How old is the pump????
Any Gallagher put up a post some time ago warning that there was swarf or scoring inside the pumps he had bought from cosworth if I'm right.

Probably the same batch of pumps then I would think as his post is from Jan 08'

The most important bit is the centre bit and the bit that revolves around it, as this si where the pressure is made, or lost, the inside of the pump body should be smooth, the end plate often gets a wear ridge in it from the rotor turning on it, .

CLICK on my link and have a look at wot gose rong when your pump is shafted

is yours 2wd or 4x4

SWIFTY

2wd mate

SWIFTY

take it your oil pump failed and thats what caused all the damage.


will a normal 2.0 pinto engine fit mine? its a 2wd shapphire.

how much difference is there between a standard oil pump and a high flow.
only asking as i rang woodford today and its alot of money for one and he said it was a high flow.

yip pinto one will go in if you put the top off your cosworth one onto the top of the pinto one for the spray jets.....and you should get a pinto one for less than £30.....

SWIFTY

THANKS.

do i need to mine is stage 3 at the mo

tabetha

std pressure will be fine at stage 3.

If thats the case when/what power level/stage of tune is an high pressure pump is required?

Also what do the chances be of your standard orginal ford cosworth oil pump being in good nick just say even after 100,000 miles i.e can they usually be reconditioned/used as ive been reading up horror stories of the cosworth/aftermarket pumps etc?

Thanks

I believe a standard pressure pump will do over 500bhp no problem.
