if i were to get the part, how hard is it to do. currently the engine is just about disassembled accept for pistons, crank and camshalf and oil pump.

another question related to the oil pump, how is it removed. the bolts that hold it to the side of the block are just circles, do i cut a grove in them or something to turn them out?

im not sure if i will even bother tring to repair the line as id hate to waste money on something i will never use or get my money back later. as far as time its a good rainy day project. ill have to put some thought into it, depending on what needs to be done to fix it.

thanks for the help
