No way to turn the oil pump without turning the engine, it's geared to the cam. So you have to drop the pump to reposition it. I went through this, while theoretically possible to make up for an incorrect oil pump position as shown by O-D it wouldn't work for me, I always ended up between distiributor posts on #1 TDC so I couldn't get it just right. I had to drop the pump and get it moved a tooth, then I was perfect and the stars, not to mention the timing, aligned.
