200x Oil Pump rebuild

[ATCrider42]

JW if anyone here has "rebuilt" their oil pump before. I can buy almost all the parts for it by themselves but I'm not sure if I would end up needing to buy all the parts for the whole assembly or if anyone has had luck just replacing a few parts within the assembly. So i guess my real question is, can the oil pump be disassembled easily or not.

you don't rebuild a oil pump. you repalce it with a new one. theya re gears and they wear once they wear you have to replace everything. go on ebay and get another pump. not that bad a price.

Did yours fail and that is why you want to rebuild it?

New oem ones are around $100.... not everybody has that kind of coin laying around to blow on a trike

i dont see why you couldnt rebuild unless getting it apart was the issue.. i never have had one in my hand.. so i honestly dont know but shoot if ya can get the worn parts an apart try an see! might save ya some cash flow for sure...

well oscarmeyer is right. They really should be replaced because there are too many peices in there that receive wear and though I could have replaced most of the parts that were worn I couldn't replace all of them, and even if I could've it would have cost over $100. So I got a new one. Fortunately I have the coin right now, but at this rate I won't for long. I threw a valve last fall and am in the process of rebuilding and on top of everything else the oil pump makes this one expensive rebuild. I could have bought a good used engine and sold my old for parts and been further ahead. live and learn i guess.

F.Y.I. it is a good idea to take yours apart and look into it if you know it's never been checked. These things wear over time and eventually will loose pressure slowly until your engine starts to overheat and eventually blow.
