how do you change the engine oil pump on a 5.3 liter v8 motor in my pick up truck?
the oil pressure jumps from 25 pounds to zero back to 25 pounds. the valve lifters are slightly clicking.
the oil and filter have been changed several times in the passed month. 10w-30 weight oil.
is the pressure relief valve located in the oil pump?
