Swedecar, others...oil pressure/oil pump questions

See my post a dozen or so threads below. Oil pressure light is on randomly, and stays solidly lit most of the time.
While I'm leaning toward abandoning the car, I'm wondering if anyone has experience with timing cover and oil pump replacement. Does the repair generally last?
I would of course not undertake the work without first examining the main and rod bearings, and the crank.
And, I'm 75% sure I wouldn't undertake it anyway, because of the work involved:
* Remove head (I figure leave intake and exhaust manifolds bolted on and remove as a lump)
* Struggle with cramped access to undo the many bolts holding the timing cover on. These are torx heads, no? I see a party waiting to happen.
* Remove the balance chain, leaving everything else as is.
* Finagle out and in the oil pan, somehow managing not to screw up the sealant bead while in the act
Plus the costs:
* Timing cover, oil pump, oil relief valve
* New head bolts I assume?
* Head gasket
What's the word on this from you guys?
