Oil Pump Replacement
Ok, my friend has a 97 f150 with the v-6. His oil pump needs to be replaced, but is it necessary to drop the oil pan, to change it? Isn't the oil pump located on the timing-chain cover?
The reason i ask is because if the oil pan has to come off, then we have to take the motor mounts loose to raise the engine.
is it necessary to replace the oil pump tube that runs to the oil pan?

well, when his light came on the valves started ticking, then the light would go off and the clicking and clunking would stop. he was in the middle of now where and kept driving(stupid). this happened several times over. the truck seemed to have cured itself, then he drove it 150 miles home, and as soon as he got to the last mile, the truck started doing the same thing. the oil light was on and the ticking and clunking sounds were back.
now i don't know where to start. replace the pump, and wonder if he damaged the heads. how exactly would i put a pressure gauge on it?
thanks for the replies

if it is a 4x4 4.2 you can drop the pan in vehicle
if its 2wd you have to pull the engine
sounds like either the pick up screen got glogged or the pressure relief port got stuck open. this can happen when contaminants get into the oil like metal, sealer, gasket materials from repairs, and the use of scotchbryte pads for cleaning gasket surfaces.
use a plastic scraper or 3m nylon pad to remove gaskets they wont did into the aluminum.
