Timing belt/oil pump
Hi, I'm new to the forum but you folks seem to have a wealth of knowledge. I recently bought a 94 Camry with a 2.2L, automatic with 143K on the clock. The timing belt was replaced at 60K miles and the seller told me it had a slight oil leak. Looking closer I've determined that the oil pump seal is leaking Not "slightly" either). Since I need to replace the oil pump seal, this seems like a good time to replace the belt, water pump and other associated seals. I have done a timing belt on a 1.8L but never messed with the oil pump. To remove the pump does the oil pan and sump arm need to be removed????
Also, on the 1.8 (87Camry) I've always had a problem of burning oil, probably from valve seals and I've always thought I should have pulled the head at that time and had it redone. I'm debating if I should do it to this one but I really don't want to spend the additional cash plus I don't know if this has a problem...
Any thoughts on this will be appreciated.
Thanks
