[@hankclark8030]

This video is an immense help. Good to see what I'm getting into before I get into the job.

Great video. Tearing my out this weekend. Thank you!

Helpful video. Once you see inside an old, sitting engine, it’s shocking that people start them without cleaning. I thought the grub screw on the side of the block holds the oil pump in by engaging a groove.

The screw on the side of the block is to verify oil pressure. People now a days hook an oil pressure gage to it inside the car.

The small flat head screw that you removed on the side of the block, can also be used as means of holding the oil pump in place for if you needed to remove the oil pan (in the car). Most of the parts places have this tool or you can make one yourself. Great vid!

Thanks, Jeff, I was unaware of the use of that screw. That’s great to know for future Teardown’s.

I dropped my pan and essentially the oil pump "fell out". So putting it back in will be hard without some method of holding it in place. Can I just use a screwdriver through that port to hold it, or is there a special tool/method to do it? Does the pan ho;d it in place once replaced?

@@richs.17 Im pretty sure you can use a 10m / 100 pitch bolt.
