Been having problems with my truck leaking a lot of oil. I don't drive it that much, since I work from home now, but I really want to get it right, and I don't like dripping oil on the environment and I don't want to see my truck go up in flames. So, I pulled my oil pump to replace the seal again. Long story, but a shop did my timing chain, messed it up, then I had to do it again. Since the seal was installed not so long ago, i thought that it would be okay to leave it. after the truck kept leaking from that area (I think!) I thought I would give it another shot. I pulled it off and I found the lip "chipped" near the end, probably from where the shop replaced any. Questions are: Should I replace it or just run it? I am leaning toward replace it. BTW, I called the stealership cause I have it torn down now and I didn't want to leave it that way and they want $210!!! So, I called Ted... no answer... it's Saturday I guess. LOL. I'd rather go with Engbldr anyway...Maybe a HV???
Please take a gander at

Sorry for the poor shots, but my camera... Anyway, the oil pump is sitting on my drain pan and the yellow you see is the vapor release thingie.

Also, i need a source for a crankshaft pulley. Mine has grooves in it where the oil seal rides on it, so I don't think it will ever seal like that. I guess I need to replace that. Anybody seen this before?

very hard to tell by the pics ... but for the price , I would say replace .

also ... look ar the timing cover , where the pump mounts , It is "part" of the oil pump system . If it has grooves , it will reduce oil pressure . There cheep enough , I'd say replace it as well .

as for the pully , just get a "speedy sleeve" only about 7bucks (here in Canada)

The timing cover is new, so no worries there. Just spent half hour at pep boys. They want $33 for the speedi-sleeve and it's a special order. Earlier today before I read your post i picked up another pulley from the junkyard for $60 so I'll slap that one on there. It has a smaller groove. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

a bigger burrier picture would help..
if you have to ask, replace it.

LOL!

holy crap ... you got to be kiddin' me ?

Same price as NAPA.

EB if all else fails.

I got my Speedy sleeve in a Felpro kit for like $7.

thats what i'm talkin' 'bout .... 7BUCKS ... see the pics ...

anybody want to buy a bunch ? i'll ship
