Heres a few quick ones.
My block is a 'ZL' prefix...does that mean it's a black motor block?
What's a good oil pressure to have for a mild 202?
When changing the oil pump, can the engine be left in the car? It doesn't look like much space? Can someone outline the procedure in case I mess it up.
Anyone have a good condition 'standard' oil pump they want to sell/give me?
Thanks all
James

You will have to remove bolts from drivers side mount and jack engine up to remove pump. Make sure you prime new oil pump before fitting.

Depends on the car as to whether you can change "in chassis"...hold your spare (when you get it) up next to it to judge clearance...you cant do it in EH's 
what pressure do you have?
simply undo the 4 bolts in the corners..the middle 2 hold the front plate on...but i tend to find it is rarely the pumps fault..its bearing clearances
I think you have a HZ engine..will have to check.

My gauge is not working though it was about the 1/4 mark when it was...
Will have to get a the gauge fixed.
Oil pump shaft had about 60 thou play in it when it was put in because I couldn't afford a new one at the time of rebuild. I think oil pressure was around 30 ??
Sorry its in an LJ.
Are all oil pumps the same for red,blue,black blocks?
How do I prime an oil pump?
