Can this be done without pulling the engine without a gigantic amount of headache? I’ve got a lift, I feel like it’s doable, but I haven’t found any examples of people doing it this way.
Perhaps if you were just changing the oil pump but for a complete rebuild I think it's easier just to pull the whole motor. For more experience person this has to be one of the easiest engines to get out.
You can do the oil pump without pulling the motor for sure, but the pan is a pain right in the ass to get on properly with it on a lift. But then again, so is any pan when your trying to hold it up lol. I did mine laying on the ground though, so perhaps im a bit biased when I say its a pain
