OIL PUMP Balance shafts?

[evasive_one]

So, after I got my car all fixed.. I took it for a test drive and the cam gear bolt broke. Causing the cam gear to jump off.. I explained most of this in a different thread. Anyways, I noticed I had very low oil pressure when I was pulling it back into the house. I figured It was the oil pump that had failed as well.

I took an oil pump off a 2.0 at the junk yard and was wondering if the balance shafts are supposed to come out with it? Also, will a 1992 2.0 N/A oil pump work on my 1990 2.0 turbo motor? I'm not to sure about this.. I've searched a little bit and can't really find anything that helps me. If anybody knows for sure. Please let me know!


THANKS

The shafts will come out with the front case assembly aka oil pump. But not sure about the two pumps bolting up though.

Yep same pump

Pull the bolt out the front of the pump. The balance shaft will stay in the motor.

I pulled that bolt off and the balance shafts still came with it..

What did I do wrong?

You have to remove the oil pump gear, then the castle plug, and you will see a bolt when you remove the castle plug. This bolt is what is holding the balance shaft to the oil pump/front cover.

The only thing that holds the balance to the oil pump is that bolt. Tap it with a hammer or something it should come free.
