    OIL PUMP
    A gear-type oil pump is mounted at the underside of the cylinder block opposite the No.4 main bearing.
    The pump incorporates a nonadjustable pressure relief valve to limit maximum pressure to 517 kPa (75 psi) In the relief position, the valve permits oil to bypass through a passage in the pump body to the inlet side of the pump.
    Oil pump removal or replacement will not affect the distributor timing because the distributor drive gear remains in mesh with the camshaft gear. REMOVAL
    Drain the engine oil.
    Remove the oil pan.
    Remove the pump-to-cylinder block attaching bolts. Remove the pump assembly with gasket Oil Pump Assembly
