B motor. Haynes manual says the oil pump comes off before the cam and "installation is reverse of removal".

I pulled the pump to clean it up. Can it go back on before I finish pulling/replacing the camshaft? I don't see how it would interfere but am I missing something???

Thanks!thumbs

It shouldn't make too much difference. I put the oil pump on after the cam is in and the distributor drive is in because it can be a little fiddly to get the shaft's gear teeth and the hex at the bottom of the shaft to line up properly at the same time.

But you should be able to do it your way too.

I'd pull the intergear then the pump & going back together I'd install the pump just barely snug then install the intergear then final tighten/torque the pump

If your leaving the distributor and oil pump drive gear in the motor remove the 4 3/8 bolts that hold the oil pump into the block, don't loosen and remove the two 5/16 bolts that hold the oil pump cover onto the oil pump body tsk and then see if the oil pump will pull straight down to remove it, if not try twisting the oil pump back and forth a little to break the gasket away from the pump and the engine block. Once you have it removed do what you want with it and when your ready to reinstall it use a tiny bit of oil on the O ring on the oil pump body snout that slides up into the block, twist it back and forh sideways as needed to engage the oil pump drive shaft into the oil pump rotor. Once you have the two mated slide it in all the way up into the block and install the 4 3/8 bolts and tighten to 20 to 30 ft lbs, do not over tighten them tsk Make sure the oil pump gasket to the block is in good shape or replace it and make sure none of the old gasket material is left on the block or oil pump body scope Good luck, some of the different year and body style K members and engine munts need the pump to be rotated a little from straight up and down for the pump bolts to be able to be removed and drop out, on those type you need to put all four bolts in the pump and hold them in before trying to reinstall the pump into the block up
