I hope you are going to run a pre mix....

no, u dont want it gone. that regualtes the oil into our engine. u need oil in teh engine for lubrication or kaboom.

Well, if he runs premix, he doesnt need it, and since he didnt say WHY he wants it gone, we dont know...

i thoguth it was a question cuz of the qurstion mark. so i took it that way more then a statement

I want it gone becuse i broke the lines to it, it leaks and i would rather premix.Does any one have a write up or pic's? Isint it better to pre mix (clean /burnable oil insted of dirty crank case oil)? Less parts to fail.

not real hard to remove, remove the lines, the linkage, and the pump. Make a block off plate out of Aluminum and seal it with some ultra grey and bolt it on, and your done. Not really a ned for a write up, its pretty simple.

started to pre mix all ready and have caped off the lines where they broke. There broke right at the water pump housing bracket.

If you want to use a block off plate, you have to remove the pump and fabricate one yourself. I don't think there's a tutorial on this one. Rotary7s made one, and is thinking of making them for sale to forum members, hit him up with a PM and see what happens.

However, if the type of driving you're doing is "daily driving with occasional racing", just rebuild the omp with a rebuild kit from Lowe's Automotive
http://www.loweperformance.com/

It's $10USD, plus the cost of some mineral spirits to clean it with. There IS a tutorial (actually two) on how to do that here:
http://www.godofredo.com/mound/3-11-03.html
and here:
http://www.mazspeed.com/oilmeteringpump.htm

For ten dollars and one night&day's worth of work (you soak it overnight, rebuild it the next day), you have a damn good deal for something as critical as the Oil Metering Pump.

In case you aren't sure what the OMP really does, it's a small pump that takes oil from the oil pan and injects it into the intake manifold (or carb, depending on your model) to help lubricate the engine's apex seals. If you remove this pump, and don't find another way to lubricate those seals, you can say goodbye to your engine, because it will sieze up on you.

One way some people get around this is to mix two-stroke oil into their gas when they fuel up at a 100:1 ratio (roughly). This is pre-mixing. It assures that you get enough lube, but it'll either cause you to run rich at low RPM, or not have enough lube at high RMP.

Some people say that because you use less gas (and thus less oil) at low RPMs, and more gas (thus more oil) at high RPMs, it works just fine... but the reality is the mix will be *slightly* unbalanced. It's nothing to worry about, many of the people on here pre-mix for their daily driver cars, but my optimal solution is this:

http://www.rotaryaviation.com/oil_in...p_adaptors.htm

keep the OMP, add the little adapter above, and boom, you have a 2-stroke resivoir to feed the OMP. This would be optimal because two-stroke oil is [I]designed[I] to be burnt off, and leave behind a lubricant as a by-product, unlike the oil from your oil pan, which is not designed to burn. In the case of synthetics, it's even designed *not* to burn, so you should never use synthetics.

*takes a breath* alright, you probably knew most of that info, but at the very least, this makes the thread a good reference for the next person who searches for

OMP blockoff (block-off) plate
OMP rebuild
two-stroke resivoir
OMP adapter

or anything else I've mentioned

Have a great day, I'm off to finish my brakes

How heavy of aluminum and is rubberised cork allright gasket materal to use?

There's a thread in the 2nd gen forum about this. Most would apply to a first gen--except the S5 OMP which is electric.

Tells what to do and has lots of juicy arguments for and against premix.

I'm still undecided by need to make a decision soon for the TII engine.

So, anyone use that adaptor doing a S5 TII swap...because im wondering what the hell i should do with the omp...Premixing sounds like a pain in the *** and i want to make sure my engine gets enough lube, i cant afford a seize here, and im working on a crunch time table...i have until september 29th, and im not that far, so if anyone could help me get over this little hurtle id be a lot better off.

Thanks
