i got some good replies to my prior question about how to best remove the oil pump (engine out of car) I am not rebuilding the engine now, just want to check the pump as pressure was a tad bit low when hot.
It was suggested that I might have to loosen the case half bolts to get the pump out.
Will I run into problems with case half leaks if I need to do this?
Isn't the case halves sealed with "glue" to prevent leaks, and if I seperate the halves even slightly, I would need to re-apply sealant?
How can I reapply sealant to the halves If I do not fully split them, and clean them up? Remember, I am only pulling the oil pump, do not plan to work ont he bottom end of the engine at all.
thanks dave
