Pack the oil pump regardless if you retain the old one or buy a new one. doesnt hurt anything and its cheap insurance from extended dry startup. Nothing wrong with leaving the head in place, thats how I do it. Good luck on the oil pan, they can be a biatch to drop. If ya get in a pinch just log on and scream HELP!
