well im not 100% sure it does as the side casing has not been split open, im going on what the guy said that i got the engine from , he bought a smashed up car with a forged engine but said he needed to change the oil pump as he broke the other one ! . people have told me that you dont need to take the head of as its just seven screws/bolts that holds it in , to be honest i know very little about the sr20 engine (obviously)

the oil pump is bolted on front of engine but also theres 2 bolts that go down through head

its not normal to do oil pumpp with head on

to take the oil pump off do you need to take the casing apart on the side where the pulleys are , i dont think even the rocker cover has even been off.

Yes,
GBH is an ideal choice as they are in the area and Grimsey's engine seems to fitted ok.
