[V8] Oil Pump Bearing & Oil Seal?

[dsaad at icehouse.net]

If you are this far in, you might want to think about pulling the front cover.
This also means pulling the lower (steel) oil pan, and it is a messy PITA but
you don't need any special tools. The bright side is you get a bunch of
expensive new gaskets and hopefully a nice dry motor when you are done.
