I just rebuilt this engine 15k ago and it was running great until yesterday driving home from school and now I hear this nasty knock. I hope it doesnt end up being too bad but sounds pretty cooked 😔
Rebuilt my motor abt 2 years ago and only had the occasional drip, but coming out of this winter the warmer weather has caused it to start leaking significantly more, specifically from the bottom left side of the oil pump as shown in the picture. What is the process in replacing the oil pump, do I have to drop the whole pan, and do I need a lift for that? Would that even solve the problem? Ik samurais are notorious for leaking on the pan and oil pump surface...
Thanks
