| Post subject: | Oil Pump replacement |
Can someone explain the process of replacing a slant six oil pump? I found a Melling 66C for $20 and am thinking about doing it myself. But I've never done this before. It looks like a couple of bolts, a gasket and putting it in the right spot. Thanks. |

Thats about it,5 bolts(old ones had 6) clean the block real good,use some gasket goo on the pump/gasket(keep it from moving wilst installing).Wouldn't hurt to use some assembly lube on the gear,install in reverse order of removal,pour a little oil in before install an rotate the gear some make sure it's lubed and a bit more after install.I don't use gasket goo on the block side.Good luck |

Not to mention that unless it's in a truck, you will need to undo the motor mounts and raise the engine quite a bit to get clearance to pull it out.... unless the motor is already out.  ~THOR~ |

Well, sounds like a bone head like me can handle that.

You might want to check with Doc about the drive gear on the new pump most of them are soft and will get chewed up. |
