alright just a few questions. How hard is it to change the oil pump out when the engine is still in the car? Do you just have to take all the stuff thats in the way off such as the accesorie parts and pulley and stuff like that or do you have to drop the oil pan down as well. I'm trying to figure out if I'm going to need to pull my engine to do this or if i'll be able to swap the part out with the engine still in and if you need to drop the oil pan to do so as well. I'm already replaceing my timing belt while i'm doing this and I'm also putting on a 5.75" damper pulley from Ray so i'll be down to the oil pump anyways.

So what all is needed and about how hard is it to install. Also does the new oil pump come with a new gasket as well?

thanks
Larry
