sprocket mounting  nut (left-hand  thread) 
(arrow). Lift sprocket off  together with  drive chain. 
Engines  produced  to 9/98: Remove  oil pump with  pick-up 
tube.  Pick-up tube  is bolted to  side of oil pump. 
Engines  produced  from 9/98 to 01/00:  Remove  pick-up 
tube, scraper tray  and oil pump  as a unit. 
Engines  produced  from 01/00:  Remove  oil pump pick-up 
tube  bolts  and remove  pick-up tube  before removing pump. 
Remove  mounting bolts from oil pump. Withdraw  pump. 
NOTE- 
Record location  of any  spacers between  pump and engine 
bloclc Note  positions  of locating  dowels. 
- Remove  cover from oil  pump and  check for wear  or scoring. 
Spin  oil pump  shaft and 
check that gears turn  smoothly. Re- 
place pump  if gears spin with  difficulty 
orany wear is present. 
- Inspect oil pressure relief valve  as described later. 
- Installation is  reverse of removal, noting the following: 
Replace  pick-up tube O-ring  (if applicable). 
- Align sprocket  splines to oil  pump  shaft spl~nes before 
tightening  sprocket  nut. 
- After adding engine  oil, start and run  engine. Raise engine 
speed  to 2,500  rpm until  oil pressure  warning  light goes  out 
(about 5 seconds).

Oil pump, removing and installing (V-8) 
CAUTION- 
V8 engines: The oil pump  fasteners (including  the sprocket 
retaining  nut) are known  to vibrate  loose. This can  result in oil 
starvation  and engine  failure. Be sure  to 
checlc oil bolts  and 
nut  tighness whenever  the oil pump  is accessible.  If any  fas- 
teners  are found  to be  loose,  remove  them and reinstall  with 
Loctite 
8 and  torque  to specifications. 
- Remove  upper oil pan,  as described  earlier, to gain  access to 
oil  pump.

Remove  cover. 
* Unclip oil return line (A). 
4 Remove oil pump sprocket  nut (arrow)  and sprocket  together 
with drive  chain. 
Unbolt oil pump mounting  fasteners (arrows) and remove
