belt off, maniflold and sump off, remove pick up pipe, upbolt pump. takes a couple of hours id say. while the sumps off check to see if theres any filings in it and if you can see anything major along the crack areas.
you might not know if any damage has been done till you fit a new pump. tapping will be from the head initially. when fitting new pump make sure you clean the pickup pipe properly and fit a new crank seal to the pump.
