drain the oil, drop the sump and it'll be starring you in the face - don't fit a cheap or used oil pump

And the sump will come off with some bolts or something ?

got the haynes book beside me it reckons max revs no load is 4600 .... only time mine goes above 2500 is when the mot guy gets his greasy paws on it
no velcro
not so sure that's correct ? - i tend to work on 4200, pointless reving it anything past 4000 as it's as flat as a pancake
treating it like it's got 16 valves is sure to doing some harm

I've decided to wait until winter is over before I change the pump. In the meantime I'll just use the 3.5 V8!

Sounds like the oil pumps fooked but what about the pressure release valve and spring !!! could be a weak spring . how many miles the motors done ?

Shouldnt be too bad then , either way the pumps got to come out and be checked anyway - if it looks fine , replace the spring etc .
