Need some advice here, please... Went through the (from what I understand now) normal knocking sound for a couple of weeks... Then the oil pressure went to zero... Everything that I can find on the web indicates that you can replace the pump by dropping the oil pan.... Just got a bid from a local mechanic that says that the front of the engine has to come off... I'm guessing he means timing chain and stuff but don't know....
Anyone replaced the pump on this rig and can shine a little light for me? We're in Mexico and the guy quoted about $300 labor and $60 to $100 for the pump... Seems high to me??
