Thanx for the endorsement Dieseld'........

I would say, the vac' pump is number one cause of oil pump lock ups too....one thing I did omit was, the belt tensioner shock assembley...they'll make a lot of noise at idle and sound like the a/c compressor clutch is failing.....simple test is to push down on tensioner arm and see if noise goes away.

About the 'Iffy Lub' outfits...They all carry 'Stupidity Insurance'...prove they killed your engine...with the aid of an independent engineers report, and they pay the bill.

Not many shops in 'general repair' busines can say/do that.
