G'Day Dean, The bolt you're talking about is actually just a plug & has no function whatsover in holding the oil pump in the block. The port can be used for checking oil pressure when the engine is running, & the hole is used to allow insertion of a pin or screwdriver or whatever, to hold the oil pump in position whilst the oil pan is being fitted to the engine while still in the chassis. You're quite right about the spring being the only thing holding the oil pump in position in service. Regardz DJ. OutOfAfrica A's
