Cadillac Engine >> OIL PUMP DRIVE/DISTRIBUTOR GEAR

Effect Of Oil Thickening On Oil Pump Drive/Distributor Spiral
Gear On Cadillac And Other Engines

It has been reported that oil thickening, caused by overheating,
can cause failure of the oil pump drive and distributor gears in
Cadillac and possibly other engines. On Cadillac, the
distributor gear set is lubricated by oil spray from the timing
chain.

Thickened oil reduces this lubricating spray and also imposes an
added load on the oil pump. Replacing the failed parts is only a
temporary remedy. To completely correct this situation, it is
necessary to disassemble the engine and clean it thoroughly.
