22re oil pump collar

[southernrunner]

I recently put a rebuilt 22re in my 85 4runner and returned the old one for a core. The engine shop said I left two collars with the oil pump that should have gone on the new engine. I don't want to put these on if it's not necessary-very time consuming. Does anyone have any input about this?

im not sure what these collars are? i just did the front main seal on my truck and had the oil pump off. there were no collars, so id say your good to go

I just got done building my 22re from top to bottom, and the only collars I can think of are actually part of the cresent gear mechanism of the oil pump. But it wouldn't have fit very well if those were not in place. Should be okay...

You put in a new oil pump, right?

i sure hope he did if it got rebuilt, or that might be a cheesy rebuild job.
