Anybody had problems fith plastic oil pumps? My connecting rod bearing is broken after 11 hours. :angry: My mechanic is saying maybe it is because not enough oil presure - oil pumps are too bad already. They look bad. Maybe it is posible to change them with steel ones from another model? Do anybodo know which would fit?

I worked on one that had oil pumps/and gears go down. Looked like something got in there. Put in new pumps and gears and 2 days later cam siezed again. Found piston circlip in oil screen (the dealer had left in there), now they are fixing the motor. Sorry but I could not find steel pump either.

SX Engine/Carb/DrivetrainHi, just bought a low hour (maybe 30hrs) 09 450 sx and wanted to know where I can get the 2 parts listed about in the title. I can’t seem to find them anywhere and really want to improve the flaws on this engine the best I can. Thanks!

SX Engine/Carb/DrivetrainHello, I was wondering if anyone already knew if the flywheel bolt was a left hand or right hand thread? Any suggestions for replacing the Pulsar coil?
