Lamborghini V10 oil pump failures - differences between 5.0 & 5.2

The oil pumps used in early 5.0-litre Gallardos are very different to the ones fitted to later 5.2-litre models.
In this video, we explain the differences and look at the components that can fail, leading to loss of oil pressure - not something you want with an expensive V10 engine!
With a new 5.2-litre oil pump unit costing around £3,800 from Lamborghini, it's not something you want to be replacing, which is why we offer an oil pump repair service for both models.

This channel deserves more subscribers, Rick’s knowledge is insane 🤯

[@REPerformanceUK]

Thank you

[@tunnel7]

His passion for all things automotive is infectious, what an incredible young man and his team behind the set-up great to watch and wish them well.

[@REPerformanceUK]

Thank you very much for your kind comments. Glad you are enjoying the content.

[@joncamilleri2172]

Another extremely informative episode from a garage determined to go above and beyond with their love of cars. Well done and I love this team and the work they are doing. Some people have no class using the C-bomb just because they assume they know the presenter. Ignore those idiots, you are doing a fab job.

[@REPerformanceUK]

Thank you!

@@REPerformanceUK in the huracan v10 the transmission has a shaft that goes through the engine and to the front I want to know if it passes all the way through the block or passes by the side of the block?

[@johnrowell942]

Hi when you do the rebuilds on the pumps. Do you put alloy bolts back in or replace with steel ones? Do to them snapping in the past

[@REPerformanceUK]

Yes we replace with better hardware, plus clean the threads properly and use lots of anti seize.

[@solo2r]

Can you put anti seize compound on those slider/joiners to keep them from corroding or siezing?

[@REPerformanceUK]

Yes but they are exposed to elements and the problem starts from new really

[@p4cks]

how do you prevent on a 5.0?

[@waynep343]

pump housing molded seals... with CMM and 3D scanning.. you could scan a few housing ends and have dies made to work with oring manufacturers equipment for customs. i wonder if you could slide a forshida seal on the input shaft to protect the inner seal like a slinger

[@REPerformanceUK]

All comes down to how popular they would be vs the cost to do it!

[@LapoftheWorld]

These videos are awesome resources for those of us handy enough to be dangerous who don't live close to any specialists. For the 5.0 pumps are there any best practices or preventative measures that can extend the time between rebuilds?

[@REPerformanceUK]

Thank you!

[@wesleysf16]

I'm building a v10 r8 engine here in Brazil. During the inspection before starting assembly, I noticed that the oil pump does not turn by hand. If I disassemble it halfway, it spins. It has many deeply scratched parts. That's probably what caused the breakage. This pump must rotate freely in the hand, correct?

[@waynep343]

on water pump bolts.. do you use Hylomar as an antiseize never hardening packing to stop the bolts from corroding in the housing holes.

[@REPerformanceUK]

We use anti seize yes!

[@suiteproductions]

Is it worth getting the joiners/couplers manufacturered that don't corrode?

[@REPerformanceUK]

If we did loads I probably would, but the development and manufacture cost outweighs it really.

[@espenlund1444]

I need to replace the shaft tube seal on my LP560, but do the engine have to come out like in the manual, or is it possible to do this job without taking out the engine?

[@REPerformanceUK]

The sharp tube seal? Do you mean for the oil pump drive?

[@espenlund1444]

@@REPerformanceUK Yes ☺️

[@REPerformanceUK]

@@espenlund1444 No, you can drop the oil pump off without removing the engine.

[@espenlund1444]

@@REPerformanceUK Nice, thanks! But what do I do if the aluminum bolts snap like you mention? 😅 With my luck and a car that has seen some norwegian salty roads I guess they all will snap 😂 It is impossible to get to all the oil pump bolts without disassemble the thermostat housing and water pump housing?

[@harezy]

9:36 Get the o rings drawn up/cad. Make some split mould fixtures up and make them yourself.. Another thing you could them add to the stock list 🧐.

[@REPerformanceUK]

Just time and money vs a once a year problem…..

[@richardmarkham8369]

The size of those pumps! Why does the scavenge side need to be double the size of the pressure side? Do the pumps need upgrading when you turbo the engines?

[@REPerformanceUK]

The scavenge has to empty the sump to keep the tank full, but also has aeration to content with so you normally find that side of the pump is bigger.

[@samtalkscars1341]

Hi Ricky what’s the cost of replacing the seals and servicing the oil pump on a 5.0 Gallardo?

All I wanna know is the 5.2 do the cats in Is there a right gallardo I can buy with history and sounds good without worrying there’s doom around the corner

[@REPerformanceUK]

No 5.2 cats are fine!!

[@behrouzsalehi3246]

I may be wrong, that is not corrosion , it is caused by fretting a micro vibration caused by gears And spline shafts would wear out , using anti fretting grease will help to fix the spline wear, brown stuff is ferrous dust

[@REPerformanceUK]

It may be that too, but the corrosion build up on the shafts is pretty bad, could be the parts then fretting in the corrosion just wears it away.

[@31144]

Engineers : How many fail points can you engineer into an oil pump ? Lamborghini : Hold my beer

[@REPerformanceUK]

😂😂

[@Avantone]

Why would they use aluminium bolts? Seems silly, but is there an engineering reason? cheers

[@REPerformanceUK]

Weight is the main reason. Don’t need the torque yield like a steel bolt offers so don’t carry the weight….

[@ericmc6482]

​@REPerformanceUK Just one coffee would weigh more than that saved by using aluminium bolts. Stupidity.

@@REPerformanceUK I have a recently acquired 2003 Arnage with 14,800 miles on it where the previous owner split the front underbody cover. A shop in New York has it to scan and print. If those sleeves are easily purchased, I'd at least have them nitro-carburized. I would think volume is a major issue for you.

[@CanIbeFrank]

Maybe the best channel on KZbin. Besides mine of course haha

[@REPerformanceUK]

Thank you

[@ericcindycrowder7482]

The pump in the 5.0 only has 1 scavenge stage. This is not going to work well with blow-by gasses mixed with oil. Any proper dry-sump pump should have multiple scavenge stages like the newer 5.2, or any other proper designed engine with dry-sump.

[@REPerformanceUK]

It works well enough for the application, but yes but design standards now is out dated.

[@brucetec6597]

I think you need to rebuild the pump on that lift. It moving slow like it had a truck on it.
