part numbers are for the insides of the oil pump that get fucked up. The rally boys round here don't buy new pumps, just rebuild their original.

yes, parts numbers is my life, not just vauxhall :|

What are those part numbers for mate?


Can you get part numbers for anything vaux? :)

90156197
90156198

I'd just replace the toothed rings myself. About £20 each :)

Oh I see! The oil pump was £70 on chris astley (that's where I was ordering everything from)


Tbh it all seems reasonable in my eyes, but the flywheel is just sub £200 and the clutch is £140ish so that's why it seems so high!

£90? :boggle:

but yeah, I know the history of this engine, and could easily get in contact with lee who's maintained it since rich bought his XE

when you take a pump apart there really is nothing to them, been suggested to me that

1) some of the motorfactor pumps are shit
2) you can rebuild a vauxhall one for less than a new pump

rebuilt your current one with bits from vauxhall, much cheaper

cool running stat is pointless, just get a fiat fan switch instead

AK's right, cheaper to just blow up the bugger, and buy another £250 engine..

Unless your tuning in the future, in which case i'd just hold onto all the kit until your ready to build the engine totally.

if its a std XE isnt it just easier/cheaper running it to death then replacing with another running one?

cheaper for sure.... wont take much to just swap a like for like engine

It's a lot of other stuff though phil :lol:

ARP's (Rod + flywheel)
Billet Lightened Flywheel
LUK clutch
New lifters
All new gaskets
Oil pump
Cool running stat


Plus I already have:
Cambelt kit
Water pump
