seriously,why would you want to remove the oil injection ?

as long as I've been in this business,20+yrs,i've yet to see an engine fail ,due to the oil injection system.motor failure is often misdiagnosed - detonation,from a lean fuel condition/overloaded situation,is often diagnosed as a failed oil pump - other problems have caused powerhead failures as well...example,overheating,running the motor,while it's overheating...

.

I still have a couple of munched plastic oil injection gears that I save to show people and I've seen a ton of them parting out 2.0, 2.4 and 2.5L Mercs in the last 8 years.
