Installation
Prime the oil pump (6600) by filling the inlet port with engine oil. Rotate the oil pump intermediate shaft to distribute the oil within the pump body.
Position the oil pump intermediate shaft into the distributor socket. With the oil pump intermediate shaft firmly seated in the distributor socket, the stop on the oil pump intermediate shaft should touch the roof of the crankcase. Remove the oil pump intermediate shaft and position the stop as necessary.
NOTE: Do not attempt to force the oil pump into position if it will not seat readily. The oil pump intermediate shaft may be misaligned with the distributor shaft. To align, rotate the oil pump intermediate shaft into a new position.
With the stop properly positioned, insert the oil pump intermediate shaft into the oil pump. Install the oil pump and oil pump intermediate shaft as an assembly. Tighten the oil pump attaching screws to 30-43 Nm (22-32 lb-ft).
Clean the oil pump screen cover and tube. Position assembly in place with a new gasket. Install attaching bolts and tighten 5.0L to 16-24 Nm (12-18 lb-ft) and tighten 5.8L to 14-20 Nm (10-15 lb-ft).
Install the oil pan.
