change oil pump or not

SyntorX -> change oil pump or not (4/9/2008 7:30:55 PM)
I am rebuilding my heads...my friend thinks I should change out the oil pump "while I'm in there". I am going to do the water pump, but should I change out the oil pump as well??? It is a 2002 Montero Sport 3.0liter SOHC with 99,000k miles I bought it as is. I know NO history on the vehicle, it just dosen't run. it had clean oil in it and the radiator was full of coolant. After the purchase: I do know the driver side head is warped and is being replaced... the cam siezed/froze up. Thanks for any input or comment!

If you're going that far- you might as well do it for added insurance. Note that it is a significant amount of work you are adding ESPECIALLY if you have a 4WD model. Removing the pan (neccesary when replacing the oil pump) will be a pain in the ass with the front diff in the way. Not so bad with a 2WD. JJ

I did not replace the oil pump. I had the heads rebuilt and after I put it all back together, I started it up and there is a TICKING NOISE ON THE DRIVER SIDE!!! I do not want to take it apart and check the valve lash.... Does anyone have any ideas on what I should do?? Mike

I know you are frustrated over the "tick", but you won''t sleep well until you check out why you have one. Valve lash would be a good place to start.
