kv6 oil pump - Page 4

Guessing it is one of the threaded connections above the filter?

Borrowed stock image.

Do you still have the section that's broken away?

if you have got some thread depth left, you could even use the nylon blanking plugs that come threaded on most hydraulic parts when you buy them.again available from hydraulic hose suppliers or ebay if you can measure the thread size first. i think in this case you would be able to put a chubby o ring in there first and just nip up with a little threadlock. its only tempory but will get you by until you find a new pump. i have been running now for years without the hoses just fine. i actually had a hose made up to bypass from one hole into the other. even if they are capped off completely it does not effect the pump. i have looked inside on my spare pump and the holes are just extra port outlets and do not interfere with the pumps working pressure.

another option would be to remove the oil filter and put some wadding under the holes to collect swarf , and then run a tap through the two smaller bore holes . maybe use an oring again or copper washer on a short bolt or cap headed screw of some descrition. this would do it .

Yes, it's the right connection.
No i haven't the broken section. I bought the car and i've never seen the problem before. The last week , the threaded connection began to leak a lot of engine oil.
It was glued with black mastic.

The thread is broken in half so the threaded connector can no longer be screwed.

Just wondered whether a last resort to temporarily fix the damaged pump would be a TIG weld repair. It would mean removing the pump though.

Just heard back from the supplier - it's bad news unfortunately; seems that they're having a bit of a production backlog (stuff like this is the reason we've not had as many 'pre order' items as usual).

Quite the theme at the moment - some really important parts are being held up massively as there's just not the manpower to produce them (both in the UK and overseas)

I sent an email to Keith but he asks me the personal tax number. I am a private individual, I do not have a compagny. I don’t think they sell to private individuals.
