How do you install the oil pump on the Ridgid 1224 pipe threading machine?

All I can say is try it.

Hi Mike -

First, thanks for your service! I am not familiar with this particular furnace (but this is not my main line of work either) and the literature on their site is pretty tough to view and non-technical.

Does the furnace have a oil burner manufacturer name & model number such as "Beckett AFG" like those shown here:

http://www.beckettcorp.com/product2/product.asp?prodid=1

Also of importance to know is the oil pump brand and model. Popular brands are Beckett, Suntec, Danfoss, etc. Without knowing these pieces of information, no one can reliably tell you what needs to be done. The generic process is below - but please re-read the previous sentence.

Finally, you need to determine if you have a one pipe system - or two pipes. Simply check for fuel line(s) between the tank and burner. If one - it's a 1 pipe system, if two - it's a 2 pipe system. Two pipe systems are self priming; if you don't run out of oil, or have "service" with your oil company this won't be a problem - otherwise it may be a just a minor inconvenience. The one pipe systems are more popular as they cost less to install.

On a one pipe system, we need only be concerned with the input, nozzle and bleeder valve / ports of the pump. Connect the fuel supply line from the fuel storage tank to the input or inlet port. Connect the nozzle port of the pump to the oil burner fitting that delivers fuel oil to be burned in the furnace chamber. The bleeder valve should be closed until ready to prime the pump. All other unused ports must be plugged - otherwise a mess will result.

A two pipe system provides a fuel supply path to burner and back to tank. The connections are the same as above - but we connect the second line to the pump as well. The fuel supply line has the inline filter and provides fuel to the input or inlet of the pump as you might have guessed. The unfiltered line connects to the port marked bypass or return (depending on the pump model, etc.) to return unused oil to the tank. This two pipe system help ensure that the pump is always flooded with oil and is always primed and ready as a result. The bleeder valve should be closed until ready to prime the pump. All other unused ports must be plugged - otherwise a mess will result.

Most companies prohibit use of teflon tape on threads. These are NPT type threads, so they should seal fine without tape or compounds when snugged up tight.

Please see if someone can help you with this before attempting. A 2nd set of eyes can help "catch" something you might have otherwise missed. Good luck!

M62 ENGINE TURN OFF RADIO FIRST. YOU NEED TO INSTALL A MEMORY SAVER BEFORE DISCONNECTING NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE. TO KEEP FROM LOSING PCM MEMORY. TO REMOVE OIL PUMP.YOU NEED TO LOWER OIL PAN.REMOVE THE LEFT AND RIGHT ENGINE MOUNTS AT THE BOTTOM.REMOVE POWER STEERING PUMP AT THE HOLDER.REMOVE OIL PIPES AT THE POWER STEERING PUMP ALSO ON AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, REMOVE BANJO BOLT FOR THE OIL RETURN PIPE FROM THE OIL FILTER AT THE OIL PAN.REMOVE THE MOUNTING BOLT ON THE SPROCKET FOR THE OIL PUMP AND REMOVE THE SPROCKET ALONG WITH THE CHAIN,REMOVE 3 OIL PUMP MOUNTING BOLTS AND REMOVE THE OIL PUMP.REMOVE THE OIL PIPES OUT OF THE CRANKCASE. BEFORE INSTALLING NEW OIL PUMP, CHECK SEALS ON THE OIL PIPES AND REPLACE IF IT NECESSARY.LUBRICATE THE SEALS WITH OIL AND THE OIL PIPES.CHECK THE SEAL IN THE OIL PUMP AND REPLACE IF NECESSARY, SCREW THE HEXAGON ADAPTER BACK INTO THE OIL PUMP UNTIL IT STOPS.INSTALL OIL PUMP AND 2 RIGHT SIDE OIL PUMP MOUNTING BOLTS .TORQUE BOLTS 14 - 17 FT LBS. POSITION THE CHAIN ON THE PUMP AND SPROCKET AND INSTALL THE SPROCKET.TORQUE BOLT TO 35 FT LBS VERIFY THAT THE CHAIN IS POSITION CORRECTLY. ADJUST THE CHAIN SAG TO 0.315 - 0.472 INCHES 8 - 12MM BY TURNING THE HEXAGON ADAPTER IN THE OIL PUMP, THEN INSTALL THE LEFT SIDE MOUNTING BOLT. INSTALL OR CONNECT THE FOLLOWING. INSTALL BANJO BOLT FOR THE OIL RETURN PIPE FROM THE OIL FILTER AT THE OIL PAN, INSTALL THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND CONNECT THE OIL LINES IF EQUIPPED.INSTALL LOWER OIL PAN, INSTALL THE ENGINE OIL.INSTALL THE NEGATIVE BATTERY.

Itslower front you have to get it from the bottom its under the power steering pump if you have a mechcanicl fuel pump its slightly to the front of the engine from there You unplug the single wire unscrew it its pipe thread and tightens to 8-18 lbs But i would put some thread tape on it

Common Steps

1. Disconnect the battery negative cable(s).
   
2. Drain the cooling system.
   
3. Remove the accessory drive belt.
   
4. Remove the lower radiator hose (except Diesel).
   
5. Disconnect the heater hose from the pump, if fitted.
   

WARNING Most cooling system hoses use "constant tension" hose clamps. When removing or installing, use a tool designed for servicing this type of clamp. The clamps are stamped with a letter or number on the tongue. If replacement is necessary, use only an OEM clamp with a matching ID.




Heater hose pipe O-ring (arrow): twist gently when removing or installing; check condition; lubricate with coolant before installing

CAUTION Always wear safety glasses when servicing contact tension clamps.

1. Always use a new gasket when installing the water pump. Clean mating surfaces thoroughly before installation.
   
2. This would be a good time to replace radiator hoses. At least, inspect them carefully for aging or other damage.
   
3. If the heater hose pipe was removed, use thread sealant or equivalent on the pipe threads (if threaded), or lubricate any O-rings with coolant before installing.
   
4. Check the accessory belt routing against the plate in the engine compartment before starting engine.
   
5. Allow the engine to reach operating temperature and check for leaks.
   

3.9L, 4.7L, 5.2L, 5.9L, 8.0L Gasoline Engines

1. Carry out the "Common Steps" above.
   
2. Remove the upper radiator hose.
   
3. Remove the fan and shroud assembly.
   
4. On engines except 4.7L, remove the four water pump pulley bolts and remove the pulley.
   
5. Remove the heater hose pipe mounting bolt, if fitted.
   
6. On engines except 4.7L, loosen the bypass hose clamp at the water pump.
   
7. Remove the seven water pump mounting bolts and, on the 4.7L, one nut.
   

WARNING Bolts may be of different lengths. Be sure to note their locations.


To install:

1. Reverse the removal procedure.
   
2. The 8.0L engine uses an O-ring to seal. Use a new one and lubricate it with petroleum jelly before installation of the pump. Also, use sealant on the threads of the heater hose pipe, position the pipe as shown before installing the pump and tighten the nut to 12 ft. lbs. (16 Nm).
   
3. On pushrod engines, connect the bypass hose to the pump while installing it.
   
4. Tighten the bolts to 30 ft. lbs. (40 Nm) on pushrod engines, 40 ft. lbs. (54 Nm) on the 4.7L engine.
   
5. Spin pump to ensure the impeller is not rubbing against the timing chain case.
   
6. When installing the heater hose pipe, ensure that the slot in the pipe bracket is bearing against the mounting bolt. This will hold the pipe in as far as possible to prevent leaks.
   
7. Tighten pulley bolts to 20 ft. lbs. (27 Nm) on V-6 and V-8, 16 ft. lbs. (22 Nm) on the V-10.
   

Water pump mounting hardware—4.7L



Use a prybar to keep the water pump from rotating while pulley bolts are removed



Bypass hose clamp (arrow) must be tended to before removing the pump



Water pump bolts differ in length; note check location before installation—3.9L, 5.2L, and 5.9L gasoline engine shown



After removing the bolts, pull off the pump and place it in a safe location

This Depends on a 2 Details, ENGINE Size 4by4 or NOT. Most are Fairly Simple Once the Oil Pan has been Removed and the OIL PAN is Normaly the HARDEST Part of it

AFTER OIL PAN REMOVAL

1. Remove the oil pump. Refer to Oil Pump, Pump Screen and Deflector Removal.
2. A loose screen or pipe assembly can result in an air leak and loss of oil pressure. For more information, refer to Oil Pump Clean and Inspect.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
.

1. Install the oil pump and the oil deflector. Do not reuse the oil pump drive shaft retainer (4). During assembly, install a NEW oil pump driveshaft retainer. Refer to Oil Pump, Pump Screen and Deflector Installation.
2. Install the engine oil pan. Refer to Oil Pan Replacement
