Evo oil pump failure - what to do?
#21
As TwiZted stated, if you're going to do anything, tear the motor down first to see what you need and go from there.. If at that point you decide you need a loaner motor or an S&S motor, do one or the other but don't be getting a new motor and then rebuilding an old one... Your just throw money away that doesn't make any sense at all. So let's see what you have and complete the year down first...

Just curious because I think I remember doing it that way long ago when I replaced the bearing on the right side.

So whatever other troubles you've got, that spacer isn't one of them.

The well rated shop here in Wilmington said it was 24 hours to tear down and rebuild. I'm hoping by pulling the motor and doing some of my own work, I'll get that number down. Not positive though, didn't have a conversation with them about it.
Still won't know the full situation with the motors health for a while yet. I was unable to get the compensator nut off tonight, that thing needs some real persuading!! I need to make the locking tool. Tomorrow's project.

Stator loses a magnet it was going bad long before an impact got involved and in 40 odd years doing this stuff I've yet to see the impact directly damage one, replaced many that were bad already.
