Need a fellow Iowans Help!

Hi guys! I know this is asking a lot but I'm on a really tight budget and need to replace the oil pump in my 2.8 Maro, I don't have a torque wrench or engine lift so have no way of doing it myself. Before I send the car to my mechanic I wanted to see if there was any awesome TGO members out there who would be willing to teach me how to do it. I'm really strapped for cash so I could only pay you 30-$40. I know it's a lot to ask but you guys are awesome so I figured I'd give it a shot.

Re: Need a fellow Iowans Help!

Holy crap there are intelligent people in Des Moines! Thanks for the reply, you to blatchp. I doubt my car would even make it to Onawa, valves are making alot of noise. I'll wait a bit longer and see if any one else is out there before I go to my mechanic.
Thanks again guys!
