Need fastest answer possible. Due to lack of money I cant get an oil pan gasket or the exhaust gaskets to pull the headers down to pull the pan down. Is it possible to pull the pump at an angle or whatnot to slide it up/off the crank? Ive got the whole car torn apart and this is the last step for me ... have 2 hours till work and this is my daily. Wondering wether i can get it doen while its apart somehow or if im stuck and have to put it all back to gether and have to undo it ALL again later
thanks in advance

B18A1 motor btw.... should be same process as all Bseries i belive

 

your biggest worry is the oil pan gasket

the exhaust gaskets are all metal, an can be replaced easily at a later time, and may not leak if re-used.

but the oil pan gasket.. I dunno.. if you rip it while removing it, you will be screwed.

 

ok sounds to risky... ive decided to borrow the money and let the car sit for the night... Ill pull it all tomorrow and get it done right. If i put it back together Ill never have the motivation to do it later just for an oil pump lol. thanks dave.

 

are you changing your timimg belt and water pump while you are at it?

 

Ya It started as a freeze over that took out the Water pump. Used a GSR water pump, B16 Oil pump and new timing belt and new timing tensioner. Didnt feel like waiting till tomorrow so I brought the gaskets home and ended up getting it all done. Now to just make sure it doesnt mess up on me It was my first time doing these and hopefully i got it right. so far so good.

 

make sure you have it all lined up correctly
