DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE WITH THE OIL PUMP ON THE AMC 360/5.9L? DO I NEED TO REMOVE THE TIMING CHAIN COVER TO REINSTALL THE PUMP? IT COMES OUT PRETTY EASILY, BUT NOT SURE ABOUT GETTING IT BACK IN.

ALL RIGHT, THANKS ONE WAY OR ANOTHER!

I was told... you don't have to pull the timing cover. You can get a rebuild kit pretty cheap, but if its really scratched up, you are better off replacing everything.

WHEW- THAT'S GOOD! O'REILLY'S HAS THE KIT FOR ABOUT 17 BUCKS. I HAD READ SOME OTHER STUFF THAT MENTIONED PULLING THE TIMMING COVER AND I JUST THOUGHT 'OH CRAP'.
WHAT PRECISELY DOES "REALLY SCRATCHED UP" MEAN? HAW, HAW... I GUESS WE'LL FIND OUT!!

THANKS!!
