i would recomend changing everything whilst you have the chance, the oil pump is a big job when the engine is back in its home, so is the water pump.

also the crank seal.

yep, better safe than sorry. you don't wanna lunch an engine for the sake of 100 quid

if there's no excessive play or wear on the rotor or housing there's no need to replace it but like the other members have rightly said. Nothing like new!

I agree, only change it if its worn or badly scored or has seen lots of miles.

BTW there is no bearings in it, you sure you are getting good advice?

I may have made that bit up lol my bad.So only if it looks knackered

How much do new oil pump retail for?
