oil pump mounting
Hi again,
it might be a bad time to ask but are you suppose to mount anything between the oil pump and oil pump mount on the rear main?
when I took off my old pump there was nothing there so when I put my new one on I did not put anything there ( gasket or sealant )

If you're doing it with the motor in the car, I have no idea, lol. I'd say use a hoist to pull up on the motor and take it off the motor mounts. Then you should be able to get the pan off and then get to the pump.
