Subject: S5 Oil Metering Pump

I recently found a VERY nice looking '90 n/a rx7 at a local salvage
yard with 180k on it.  I thought it would be a great instrument to
learn more about the rotary in practice, so I went ahead and got it.
Long story short, I ended up giving $600 for the complete car, and the
only thing wrong with it is the common OMP failure.  The OMP failure
also burned up the ecu.  I've got a new used ecu that looks to be in
good condition, but the used OMP i bought off ebay didn't pass the FSM
checks.  I'm not going to put it on the car and risk burning up a good
ecu.  I knew it was a risk when I got it... ah well.

Anyone out there have a working S5 oil metering pump they'd be willing
to part with?  I know most people take them off for aircraft use... so
I'm hoping to find a good one :)

you can contact me at phyxius1@gmail.com

Thanks,

What state are you in Joshua? You might be able to use a block off plate
on the pump and mix 2 cycle oil with the fuel at one ounce per gallon.
That actually lubes the apex seals better than the pump. I mix a half ounces per
gallon in my RX8 and the pump is still there and working. It passes CA smog.
