For removing the oil pump of the Duratec Ti-VCT engine with a volume of 1.6 L do the following.
You will need: all the tools necessary to remove the timing belt and engine oil pan, as well as a 10 mm socket head.
1. Disconnect the wire from the negative terminal of the battery.
2. Drain the oil from the engine oil pan (see Changing engine oil and oil filter).
3. Set the piston of the 1st cylinder to the TDC position of the compression stroke (see Setting the piston of the first cylinder to the TDC position of the compression stroke).
4. Remove the timing belt (see Checking and replacing the timing belt of the 1.6L Duratec Ti-VCT engine).
WARNING: After removing the timing belt, do not turn the crankshaft or camshafts, as the pistons may damage the valves.
5. Remove the engine oil pan (see Replacing the oil pan seal).
6. Unscrew the two bolts A and bolt B securing the oil receiver to the oil separator and oil pump, respectively…
7….and remove the oil receiver.
WARNING: Replace the oil pickup flange gasket with a new one each time it is removed, as a leaky connection can dramatically reduce the oil pump flow.
USEFUL TIP: Every time you remove the oil receiver, be sure to wash its mesh with gasoline or kerosene to remove varnish deposits from the oil.
8. Unscrew the oil pump mounting bolts and remove it.
9. Remove the sealing gasket from the oil pump housing flange.
CAUTION: Replace the oil pump housing gasket with a new one each time the pump is removed.
HELPFUL TIP: Replace the front crankshaft oil seal (see Replacing crankshaft seals).
10. Install the pump in the reverse order of removal and tighten its mounting bolts evenly crosswise to a torque of 9 N·m (0.9 kgf·m).
11. Install all previously removed parts and fill the engine with oil.
HELPFUL TIP: When installing a new oil pump, we recommend replacing the oil filter.
For removing the oil pump of the Duratec-HE engine with a volume of 2.0 / 2.3 l perform the following operations You will need: all the tools necessary to remove the timing chain and engine oil pan, as well as a 10 mm socket head.
1. Disconnect the wire from the negative terminal of the battery.
2. Drain the oil from the engine oil pan (see Changing engine oil and oil filter).
3. Set the piston of the 1st cylinder to the TDC position of the compression stroke (see Setting the piston of the first cylinder to the TDC position of the compression stroke).
4. Remove the timing chain (see Replacing the timing chain of the 2.0 and 2.3 L Duratec-HE engines).
WARNING: After removing the timing chain, do not rotate the crankshaft or camshafts, as this may damage the valves with the pistons.
5. Remove the engine oil pan (see Replacing the oil pan seal).
6. Unscrew the bolts securing the oil receiver to the oil pump and remove the oil receiver.
WARNING: Replace the oil pickup flange gasket with a new one each time it is removed, as a leaky connection may result in a sharp reduction in oil pump flow.
USEFUL TIP: Every time you remove the oil receiver, be sure to wash its mesh with gasoline or kerosene to remove varnish deposits from the oil.
7. Unscrew the oil pump mounting bolts and remove the pump.
8. Remove the sealing gasket from the oil pump housing flange.
NOTE: This is the location of the oil pump mounting bolts.
HELPFUL TIP: Replace the oil pump housing gasket with a new one every time the pump is removed.
HELPFUL TIP: Replace the front crankshaft oil seal (see Replacing crankshaft seals).
9. Install the pump in the reverse order of removal and tighten its mounting bolts evenly crosswise to a torque of 9 N·m (0.9 kgf·m).
10. Install all previously removed parts and fill the engine with oil.
HELPFUL TIP: When installing a new oil pump, we recommend replacing the oil filter.
