Oil Pump Price Plus Labour

[BOOZTJUNKEY]

has anyone had there oil pump replaced by a shop and what is a ballpark figure on what they charge i have been quoted $760 for the timing belt water pump and serpintine belts fitted but now i am gonna do the oil pump aswell

thanks guys

oil pump is a engine out job, unless they are willing to drop the entire subframe and take the oil sump out (may as well put a sump baffle in while its out) either way it's going to be very expensive.. although $760 isnt bad if they are supplying all the parts, ridiculous if that's just the labour cost though.

that is parts supplied so would $500 be for oil pump and labour be not enough???

what is the service life on them and does anyone no any ways to make sure they are working properly or any signs to look for when there on there way out

Oil pump service life? probably forever as long as the drive gear is in good condition and you keep the revs under 7k. Signs to look out for when an oil pump is on it's way out? Seized engine, or bits of engine (bearings etc) in the oil pan.

Aftermarket oil pump? Looking at least $1200 for a decent pump (Nitto for example), and engine out job, means the engine has to be physically taken out which is pointless for a RB20.. Everything is severed, piping, hoses, wiring. However long it takes to take an RB out, and back in depends on the workshop, workshop rates are usually $100 per hour. How long do you think it would take?

You may as well do a RB25 or RB26 engine swap honestly.
