Urgent oil pump info needed.
Well I’ve gone to do the timing belt kit and oil pump today.... only to find out it’s all been done, probably just before I bought the car. What I need to know is if this is the proper oil pump, it appears to have been changed at the same time as the belt kit. Please chaps say that I’m ok !

It is a reinforced unit, that is, correct model, although I am not sure if it is an original brand FoMoCo!lost in translation!

Just inspected further after the initial excitement. It is embossed fomoco and is identical to the brand new one I have from af. There is also a 10.9 high tensile bolt in the tensioner.
Thanks for the speedy replies gents, I have to say I’m mildly surprised. The way my luck was going I was expecting to take the cover off and find the belt half stripped and the tensioner hanging off.Jarrod

I don’t know I can’t touch it in case it burns... I don’t want my sweat to stain it either. Jarrod

At least it will be good for years to come and feel sorry for anyone who’s having the work outside today
