  A:

  According to the instructions for the removal of the engines, at first, the engine has to be detached, then the oil pan of the vehicle is also removed. Further, to expose the oil pump, carry out the removal of the oil pump mounting bolts after which the pump is detached from the engine; to advance further, pull out the oil pump intermediate drive shaft and if necessary, the inlet tube and screen are to be removed by loosening the bolts. For installation, pour clean engine oil into one of the pump ports and then using your hand turn the pump to ensure that it draws the oil. If the oil pump pick-up tube was removed, fit the pick-up tube on the pump with a new gasket: The screen of the pick-up tube should be clean to avoid the trapping of dirt. Place the intermediate drive shaft into the engine with the pointed end up, and then place the oil pump over the block, and fasten the bolts to the ideal torque at best. The following steps are the reverse of the above removal process; Upon completing of this installation, start the engine and ascertain that oil pressure rises to normal levels; if oil pressure does not rise to normal quickly, then this is a sign that indicate that oil pressure is inadequate, and this should not be run because doing so can cause serious damages to the engine.
