Any automotive store will be able to tell you, and most stores that cell batteries for cars have manuals where you can check the size of the battery. Next time try taking your time so people can understand what you type.

After about 2 minutes on google I came up with this.

 

if the oil pump is bad, you got bigger worries than a dead battery

 

you damn right. You may have to rebuild the whole engine.

 

you serious? just over that?

 

Louie, Common sense! Oil pump...does what? Supply the engine with what? Oil. The rotating assembly needs oil or the engine will wear prematurely.

 

Easy way to test oil pump...turn over the motor. if you the rocker arms get sprayed with oil your pump is not dead. I am presently using a honda performance battery in my 240. It free'd up some room and was less bulky.

- Ps, remove oil cap on valve cover...have friend turn over the motor. if you get hit with oil your pump is fine. However, due to the nature of KA and SR's if the Oil pump has gone you might want to consider a crate motor or swap rather quickly.

Edited for typo( orginal wrote if the KA & SR battery. That's wrong. It should be oil pump. I was tired and didn't proof read).

 

Oil pumps are not cheap. On the KA they are built into the front cover, which means you must replace the entire front cover. Pretty sure you have to purchase it from the dealer last time I checked. Most of the time the actual oil pump does not go bad but the oil pressure release valve will stick. Either way, new front cover.

 

I got an SR20 Stock oil pump with low miles if you need it I can sell it to you.

 

Listen to Robbie on this.
