Chevy 305 Engine Oil Pump Replacement

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

This guide is intended for use on engines already removed from the vehicle. While this kind of work may be possible to complete with the engine still in the car, it will be much easier with the engine removed.

The oil pump serves the purpose of generating the oil pressure needed in order to circulate oil through the car. Without a properly performing oil pump you will not have a successful running engine.

      • Remove the 18 bolts holding the oil pan in place using the 3⁄8 and 1⁄2 sockets, 6 inch extension and 3⁄8 ratchet.

      • Fourteen 3/8 bolts around the perimeter and four 1/2 bolts on each corner

      • Lift the oil pan up and forward so the oil pump pick up will clear the baffle.

      • Do not remove the oil pan gasket yet.
