40 ml (1.35 oz) motor oil SAE 30w. Sound right?

SBT's don't come with the oil already in? But yes, you can use 30w...

The SBT engine will have oil in it from the factory.

BUT, it sure is a good idea to check it and make sure!

Oil for balance shaft

I have a 93 4.3 CPI Vin W I am working through some engine trouble as most of you know and am buying a replacement oil pump. I know that I dont need a high volume one but every part store I look at offers a 3/4" and a 5/8" shaft. How do I know which one I should have? Thanks

Did you know this is a PWC forum?

No known PWC uses a GM 4.3 litre V-6 Central Port Injection engine!

However, the 5/8" and 3/4" measurement you are referring to is not shaft size, it is the inside diameter of the oil pump inlet, and corresponds to the outside diameter of the oil pump pick-up assembly (also called oil pump screen). Measure the Outside diameter of your pick-up to determine which one your engine currently has. Both the oil pump and the pick-up are readily available in 5/8" and 3/4" sizes. There should be no problems locating both new parts for your specific needs.
