Stripped Oil Pump gears
Can anyone tell me how to fix an oil pump that has stripped gears? I have oil blowing out the airbox under the filter. I was told on here that there are only to causes to much oil or stripped oil pump gears, it this the case if so how hard is it to fix and do I have to take the motor off to fix it or just the side cover? Thanks for your help
If the gears are striped then you have bigger problems then just a striped gear. Something got in that pump and locked it up,decomp,part of a valve spring,bearing parts. Down load the manual and learn how to tear into the motor. That manual is worth its weight in gold. Take your time and read threw it.

Yes stripped gear is just a indicator of a much bigger problem. Don't run it anymore. Start by removing sidecover, valve cover and go from there. Best case scenario is that a clutch plate broke and got wedged in oil pump gears. Simple fix. Maybe you are lucky and thats all it is. But there is no doubt at this point some foreign object went through either the pump or gears because they don't just strip on thier own. You need to find the source of the foreign object and go from there.
