Oil Pump Needed

[ATCJR]

Ive come accross a 1998 SHO needing an Oil Pump. For some reason I can't seem to find one anywhere. Any suggestions? Thx....

really? oil pumps go bad on these cars?

Yeah, I'm dubious of the need for an oil pump.

Who made this diagnosis? What is their familiarity with the V8 SHO engine?

What makes them think it needs an oil pump?

I going to look at the car this afternoon.... I find it strange also. I know about the cam issues. anything else I need to look for or ask?

I got a more through explaniation of what happened. After filling the car up with fuel. The oil light came on and started running rough. The car was shut off and was towed to the house. End of story. Oil looks clean and at the proper level. I'm going to go back and really look it over...

Bad bearings?

sounds kinda weird to me. The car should not just all of a sudden start running rough as soon as the oil light comes on. Make sure they didnt accidentaly fill it up with diesel fuel or something. I have seen it done before. If the oil level is ok, crank the car up and listen for the top end to see if its chattering really bad. Listen to the bottom end for knocks. If you dont hear any weird noises and everything sounds ok then more than likely it may be just a bad oil pressure switch, oil pressure still needs to be verified by removing the EOP switch and screwing in a gauge. If you verify good oil pressure(10psi for every 1k rpm) and dont hear noises then you can safely let the car run and check for other issues. They may of had a coil pack go bad. Never know.

Maybe someone who jumps to conclusions?

Cam issue is always possible and the OP already is aware of the cam issue. Cams alone aren't going to cause the oil pressure light however.

If you need an oil pump I have one in the garage.
