Im rebuilding a 1.6L out of a capri, I picked it up from a guy who had it sitting in his backyard for about 4 years. My questions is should I replace the oil pump? Im thinking yes but Idk what would go wrong with it sitting like that or how one works on this motor.

clean it and check your clearances before packing it with some light grease and throwing it back in.Trees aren't kind to me...
currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),
94 Justy 4WD, 87 Fiero GT, plus 2 parts cars. That's my fleet.

The injectors & might be stuck ( You can soak em) & 1 or 2 HLA's might be collapsed (they are easy to get at & replace).Originally posted by Tommy View PostSome people like to read fiction,I prefer to read repair manuals. Weird I know-

You or some one will have to look those up for the crapi engine.Originally posted by Tommy View Post
Soak injectors in Seafoam or Marvel Mystery Oil. Better if you can use a 9V battery to open the injectors while soaking.
And or use a ultrasonic bath.
Be careful not to generate a spark near the solvents.
