SBC (6) oil pump drive

GPster · October 23, 2006, 10:28:37 AM

I'm putting that 1985 Chevy 4.3 liter V6 back together. I had the oil pan off of it to check for schrapnel and it was clean so I put the pan back on. Now that the heads and intake and valve mechanism is back on I thoyght that I would oil everything before I put the distributor back on so I wemt to Auto Zone and borrowed their oiling tool. Everything went fine until I remover the tool and the oil pump drive shaft came with it. I used the tool to put the drive shaft back in and it was OK UNTIL I removed the tool again. I now figure the driveshaft is in the bottom of the pan. Should there be some kind of Keeper on that shaft at the oil pump end? I figure it's off with the pan again but if there should be some kind of keeper the pan won't go back on until it's there. GPster

False Alarm, I spent all day yesterday studying for a test this morning. I'm sure I passed most of it. How many ways are there to spell Barium? GPster
