I always pull the engine. For me, it's much faster seeing as I have an engine hoist. I can usually have the engine out and sitting on the stand in about 1.5 hours. Then I can flip it over easily and work on the bottom end. I always freshen up other stuff while I'm in there. Replace any gaskets that need to be done, new motor mounts, etc. I would definitely replace the oil pump seeing as they are less than 30 bucks. Get a standard volume as high volume is not needed on the SBF. Just another option. ;D<br>[/quote]<br> Same here! Much easier to do on an engine stand than laying on your back. But of course I also have an engine hoist available when I need it.<br> Once you try it both ways you'll understand why..<br>[/quote]<br>I must admit - removing the engine is the way to go - if you have the facilities to do it.
