Dropping the Pan Part 3- Oil Pump and Valve Cover

[sethkestenbaum]

The weekend adventure continues with the next installation of my adventure in dropping the oil pan. I've just posted an update to my blog showing my cleaning/testing the oil pump and removing the valve cover.

I'm a little confused on how the oil pump spring was previously attached to the oil pan (it wasn't attached to the oil pump as likely it should have been). I am also concerned about all the gunk in the valve chamber that needs to be cleaned out tomorrow.
