Eurotiva BP/RT build

I ran my 2.3 turbo for 10 miles with no pressure. Top end hated it but I've put over 10k on it with no issues. I think you'll be fine.

Same here, that's mostly what's stopping me from fixing my car.

Wait a minute,back this up just a bit, what do you mean, maybe ZERO soon,don't let a little oil pump problem sideline the fastest Festiva with air from getting back on the road.

It'll be back on the road soon, just don't know HOW soon. With the space given in my car the motor has to come out for the oil pump to clear the nose of the crank. I'd rather put a motor just to know it's gonna be alright or it's twice the work.

And a FYI. The research that I've done on bp oil pump failure comes from removing the stock "dampened" pulley and putting a solid in it's place. I found on both escort and protege forums where people were running aftermarket underdrive pullies and exploding oil pumps. The average lifespan was 6 months. I put this motor in around march. 7k miles ago.

can't shave it off without removing the damper, i looked into it. the pulley MUST stay intact or a custom one made.

I've shaved the serpentine portion off of a few, but no option of a/c. I just cut thru the rubber with my lathe.
