taking off 1JZ-GTE oil pump housing/front housing....?

[kim0663]

I've developed a massive oil leak. Probably due to neglected o-ring or some sort of dodgy shit that i don't know of.

Anyway, I need to take this housing off,



and i've got it all loose and moving.

It'll come out around 5mm ~ 10mm but gets stuck.
It seems to be stuck from within the sump.

I'm SURE someone on toyspeed has stripped this bloody thing and I'd really prefer to save some hassle by not taking off the sump, especially if I didn't have to.

Is there something under the oil pump housing that gets caught on the sump? Must the sump come off? <- is my question.

Engine is a rear/mid sump 1jzgte in a jzz30 soarer.

Very simple thing : oil pickup. You will need to take the sump off and undo it.

Very wrong. dont guess

The shape of the pump you must remove sump

Dont forget to replace the two O ring seals

[kim0663]

does the subframe have to come off for the sump to come off even if it's a mid/rear sump?






Those pics look more like... an aristo or something front sump?


I don't have access to an engine crane....

omfg this is becoming a huge job which I thought would be a
simple cambelt on and off thing omfg omfg omfgwtfbbq!!!

Those two FKN seals are the reason i want to take the housing off

You need to get sub frame low enough to remove sump only
