No Oil Pressure

Timing belt jobs run $200 from a shop and considerably less from friends who have done it. I really think you would be able to do it yourself as many times as you have seen it done. It isn't that difficult and is one of those things that you really should learn if you stay into these cars. Pay Ryan to teach you instead of doing it for you, it would be money well spent. Just a thought. At any rate, good luck with it.

Everytime I have it done I'm like I'll pay you to teach me. but in the end Ryan or John just end up doing it. (cause I'm blonde and don't catch on to quickly) :stick:


But you're right I do need to learn - as many times as I'm in there fixing things.

I'm just a fraid of getting it wrong and messing up my head. it's just one of those things where it isn't a bolt on. And there's actually something at stake if you mess up.

And don't get me wrong I can tear that side of the motor apart pretty easily now.

It's putting it back together that I'm worried about.

i did it myself on my car.... now true it did squeal like a $5 hooker.. but it worked for the 15K miles and we almost couldn't get off some of the tensioners since they were soo tight..

keyword is good torq wrechs and light hand..

We'll see what kind of mood I get into.

If we take the pan off and nothing is out of place. then I'll see if I can find someone to tow it home, and then I'll tear it apart at the house.

Chris, (dsmpartsguru)

How much is a new oil pump/water pump for my car?

1995 GSX

If I'm going in anyways I might as well replace both. Just looking to see what all I need to come up with if it turns out to be the pump.

Brian - why dont you just give him a call? It would be much faster and he wouldnt have to look it up come on here and type it down and all..

[Enes]

isn't oil pump part of the front case? because if it is oil pump it probably took the front case with it.. so i'd say somewhere around 160 for that and another 50 or so for the water pump..

Thanks E for at least a general idea.

Brian, I have all of the timing belt tools at the house. We can do it there. I was going to get an oil pump/case and it was $256 with the 2 gaskets. Lets pull it apart and see what it looks like before you order anything.
