RE: Oil Pump Knock? |

I would drop the oil pan and look for a loose oil pump or loose pick-up. THe pick-up may even be hitting the pan, so look for contact marks. It is quite difficult to isolate internal engine noises, but I doubt the pump itself could make any noise. If the block had the wrong size distributor hole, somthing like the distributor shaft, would probably break vs making a knock. Anyway, while you have the pan off, wiggle al the connecting rods to see if they are abnormally loose and remove #4 main bearing to check bearing conditions on the crank. #5 is too difficult, but #4 also gets weaker oil pressure. Also, remove the valve covers and look for excessive rocker to valve clearance (collapsed lifter or misadjusment). |
