Chevrolet Cobalt Oil Pump is the heart of the engine lubrication system by forcing the pressurized oil to bearings, pistons, and camshaft to keep the heat and friction under control. Direct crank driven designs dominate recent Cobalt designs, whereby the pump gears are mounted around the crankshaft snout and spin at engine speed for dependable flow. However, on some earlier Chevrolet small engines, the pump gears were mounted beside the crank and driven by either gear or chain driven units, which achieve the same task by sprockets or meshed gears, a design now mostly retired due to the addition of parts that can wear. Each Oil Pump sucks oil through a screened pickup, forces it through a filter, and then sends it into galleries monitored by a pressure switch or sending unit that alerts the driver to a drop in flow. Factory specifications call for about 10 psi per 1,000 RPM in order to maintain clearances filled, and a relief valve inside the Oil Pump prevents dangerously high pressure. Performance builds with loose bearing clearances sometimes upgrade to a high volume Oil Pump to maintain pressure at high revs. During rebuilds, Oil Pump housing, gears, drive shaft, and relief valve should be checked for scoring or rounding, with worn parts replaced to secure long engine life in every Chevrolet Cobalt powerplant.
