Can any one give me any ideas that may help me in changing the oil pump on my 95 Fatboy ??

 

Take the old one out, put the new one in. You got a shop manual? Geez, nice question for a first post.

 

Sorry, I thought it was a valid question ... Maybe I should have asked about the weather...

 

thanks I was wondering how to do that

 

When I did a new set of andrew cams last winter . I did replace my oil bypass valve and spring in the cam plate . To get better oil psi
I can't say any positive because I still don't have a oil psi gauge .
And there's a little screen in one of the upper oil pump holes to the casing behind a O-ring .

 

Yeah you better watch your speelling ang gramer too. Becuase the spelling pleasce will hang you by your ***** .

 

Follow the instructions in the factory service manual.

If you have a specific question, ask and there will be plenty of help.

Now a question for you: how did you determine that the oil pump needs to be replaced?

 

The engine being discussed is an Evo.

 

Thanks for the reply,
When the engine is cold I have about 40 lbs. of oil psi. as it starts to warm up the psi drops to 0.. Now starting to hear a squeaking noise from the top end.. I can hear it loudly in the air cleaner. I felt each push rod tube and can even feel it in one of the intake valve push rod tubes..

 

Stop...

Don`t spend your money on an oil pump, you will be right back here after you install it and wonder why the oil pressure is still low...

There`s a reason your bike didn`t come with an oil pressure gauge...it doesn`t need one.

The oil pressure on a hot Evo or Shovelhead will often not even register on a gauge, unless it is a quality, calibrated gauge, and a few pounds is all you will see.

Don`t expect an oil pressure gauge to make you happy, it will only make you nervous.

If the pressure is too low, the oil pressure light will come on and the valve train will clatter, loudly.

If you feel something when you put your hand on the pushrod tube, you may have a pushrod rubbing the tube.

Make sure the oil pressure warning light is working properly, and make sure the oil is being returned to the tank.

If you must check with a gauge, use a quality gauge that will be accurate under 10 PSI.
