[CerberuS]

Oil pump dont break , so theres plenny out there. junkyards or here in the classifieds.

 

[Sammy~D]

[CerberuS]

If its cose the oil light comes on.

Its prolly the rod bearings that are toasted.

 

[Sammy~D]

[wood_e]

+1 for the rod bearings. FWIW my 95 had 147k on the original bearings and I had no pressure problems.

ive went to auto zone, pep boys, checkers, advansed , napa ,and o'reillys and they all say sorry i cant get one so i went to ford and they said it is ran of of vaccumme pressure

 

[CerberuS]

nope its powered by the crank. its bolted to the block down , behind timing belt (of the crank)

Its unreal who much ppl donno jack shit , and they work in places like these.

 

[wood_e]

Ok, its your rod bearings so why are you looking for a pump? If you want a pump get a used one. They don't fail often in SHos

 

[Sammy~D]

cool.......cause it turns the light on after the engine warms up and ran for a litle bit after that

 

[CerberuS]

Rod bearings , dont use the car too much , if you wait , its gonna take a new engine.

 

[wood_e]

Replace them ASAP or look for a new engine....

 

[Minnesho]

Yes sammy. you'll park your car right away when you look at the rod bearings in the block i'm giving you ...

 

[Mrhappytuzi]

Well.. thats about the craziest thing ive ever heard about sho's.

btw.. rod bearings only cost about 60 bucks at autozone...

 

[Minnesho]

and they're pretty easy to install. i could be convinced to help you for a case of beer

 

[whiteman_01]

You'd be much better off going to rcm for your rod bearings. The cost is 60, but you get all the gaskets and rtv as well.
