Hey guys... Yeah another faulty pump on our much loved 1uzfe...
I got this uzz30 matter of weeks ago. 8 year service history came with it... was well surprized how nothing had been done the pump yet. 190k on clock.
Because of this i've been watching it very very carefully... 2 mornings ago i started it cold and a bearing like noise is coming from it. It still works ok although afew small Vibrations comes through the wheel...
Would i be correct in thinking that with this bearing going it will be putting extra pressure on my seals.... I do car audio for a living so i really want to keep my 14Volts, with this alternator.
What do you guys think is the best way of going??
2nd hand Pump? (Maybe to get this problem again...)
Seals/Bearing from my Toyota Hookup and do it myself? (virgin with P/Steering)
Buy some gym weights to harden my arms up 2 go without s/pump?
Handle the noise because it wont make the pump leak..?
Thank you very much for any reply.
