Re: [FWDLK] Rebuilding an Oil Pump

[Ron Waters <ronbo97@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm going to rebuild this one. Pump was frozen from all the gunk in the
engine. It freed up shortly after spraying it with PB Blaster. Now shaft
spins freely with no problems.

So, does anyone know where I can get a rebuild kit ?
