if taking it off will stop water pump an counter balance from being lubed then im fixing it back stock,...but if not an just mixing in intake id rather not have to worry bout it braking again....only dip stick on this thang ive found is on transmission on right side,...thanks for all the replys!

NO,taking oil pump gear off does not affect sealed counter balancer fluid! It just stops a bad,corroded pump from turning(just eliminates the pump function),if you are going to premix ! Yes dipstick is under carb on right side. If you have a manual OR engine breakdown you could tell how everything works! OPT
