Hi All,
So, I am the proud owner of an old Landrover 110 SW V8 1986 which has been dry stored for circa 15 years. In a mad moment of brain relapse I decided to restore the old girl. So far all has been going well and now near completion. Sadly the engine is suffering low oil pressure when hot, whilst cold pressure is as it should be but drops off when hot at idle. Please note it's only done 117,000 miles.
Before deciding to do a complete engine rebuild I thought it might be worth checking out the oil pump etc. My question is, is it possible to remove the oil pump and drive gears without removing the distributor and timing cover and refit?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
