[Healeys] Oil Pump Removal with Engine in Car

[Alan Garrison]

Richard

 

Got it out over the weekend and, like you said, the boss kept the shaft from completely following out. It’s been about 35 years since I rebuilt the engine and I had forgotten how things went together. After I got under there and had a look it was pretty obvious.

 

I can’t understand why the manual had a warning about restraining it.

 

Thanks for the input.

Alan

The boss that the oil pump bolts to will keep the shaft from falling out. No need to fish out the pump. It comes straight down once you unbolt it.

That same shaft drives the tach and I believe a magnet properly placed can keep it from dropping if you can carefully fish the pump body down and out.

 

Suggest you pack the new pump with Vaseline to prime it when you replace it. Be careful what you use to seal the sump to the block gasket. If its too good (like right stuff!) you will break the alloy upon removal. I use permatex to the sump, and only oil to the block. Hank

It was the 2nd paragraph of Section A.8 (2) that raised the question “… driveshaft will be free to disengage from the camshaft and care must be taken to prevent it falling out.”

 

I’m fitting an AH Spares alloy sump and need to modify the pump.

 

Thanks.

That’s an interesting question…..and I’m not 100% sure why one might want to do it.

I swapped my pump quite recently, 2018, because I found a Denis Welch pump going very cheaply on eBay.

I don’t recall every moment, but I surely don’t recall any problem extracting or replacing the pump drive shaft. And I don’t recall any reason why there would be.

See the attached, which you’ve probably already got.

The only way that occurs to me to achieve your actual aim might be to turn the car upside down!!

But, good luck anyway,

Simon

Planning to remove the oil pump from my 100-6 while the engine remains in the car. Any suggestions on how to retain the pump drive shaft in place?

 

Thanks.
