Engine Rebuild, replace oil pump?
Hi
I am reassembling rebuilt short block.
Is there a step by step instructions anywhere, I have the service manual, but it does not seem to have any hints etc.
What sealants do you use and where? Permatex aviation on the gaskets, and the "right stuff" on the oil pan? Any other advice please?
Oil pump does not look that old, is there clearances you can check against?
I would like some advice on reusing existing oil pump please..
Thanks
Ashley

Shows how much you know. Thanks anyway...
1. I have been building engines since 1985.
2. I have never damaged or destroyed any engine I have ever built.
3. Here is a document on checking oil pump clearances. You8 have never heard of doing it is my guess.
4. I do not want step by step instructions, I was looking for step by step Hints, all over this site is step by step how to do this and do that, simple **** with photos. etc. here is an example.

I'm not trying to be sarcastic here, there just isn't much to say on the subject. A person with your experience should have no problems at all, especially with a copy of the factory service manual in hand.
