OIL Pump

mp71conv · January 10th, 2009, 02:37 PM

I am Rebuild my 71 olds 350 now and was wondering if there is a gasket for the oil pump to the main bearing?

dan2286 · January 10th, 2009, 02:42 PM

Yes. It should be in the gasket kit.

f-85 · January 10th, 2009, 02:48 PM

Actually no there isnt. No gasket from the pump to the cap. At least not on a 69 455. ill look it up now.

mp71conv · January 10th, 2009, 02:52 PM

I thought there might be, but there is not one in the kit and I have been looking it up all over and have just found the gasket for the cover.

f-85 · January 10th, 2009, 02:54 PM

I had the same thought when i put my pump in. But no no gasket. Not even in the 71 350. So your good to go!

dan2286 · January 10th, 2009, 04:05 PM

Thats odd, I had one in the gasket kit for my '77 350.

IDK When i did mine thats how it was. Then i did some research for the 71 350 and found nothing, other then the gasket for the oil pump rebuild thats it.

What part number did you get?

I got this number on Summit for a 77, and this is all that came up. Of course it does not have a picture, and has a generic description. Maybe they used one for the newer style blocks???

No gasket on the pump to cap to my knowledge.
Buicks had them, but not olds.

f-85 · January 10th, 2009, 05:15 PM

Well maybe felpro makes a gasket, but the engines dont cal for one. at least the 71 and down.

dan2286 · January 10th, 2009, 05:35 PM

I am not sure what these are. Could they be what I am thinking of?

Does anyone know what those two gaskets are on the left side?

J-(Chicago) · January 10th, 2009, 05:43 PM

Dan, those are the oil filter adapter gaskets.
The little black oval one is for the oil pump cover, in case you want to pack the pump full of lubricant.

That must be what I was thinking was used for the oil pump. I was trying to think of what those gaskets were for and I forgot about the oil filter adapter.

Sorry for the confusion.

No sweat.
I mess something up almost everyday. Yesterday, I soaked an old carb body in vinegar to get the rust off. Pulled it out today, and it ate a lot of the plating too.

Live and learn.
