Hi there, i am rebuilding a CA18DET, and I am searching for a new oil pump, I heard that I should look for the facelift oil pump, also what is the normal oil pressure at idle on this engine? I think that I would also need new conrods, can you guys give me a link for ordering some condrods? I don`t know why it is so hard to find parts for this engine. Thanks.

The DE and DET pumps are the same, at least over here. Unless the con rods are damaged, you only need new bolts.

for me, on cold starts i get around 75psi, then when its fully warmed up (oil temp at 180*F) its a little over 25psi a idle. Thats just for me and I have no idea if this is what its supposed to be, but its been like this for 2 years with no problems.
