I didnt take it personal what so ever. Only on here to gather information.
But like I said, I havnt decided on what to do yet. You do searches on various forums on the net and find people who swear by it, but also people who are just running the engine the way it is and not having a problem. Sure, if I dont do it, its possible that I will destroy the oil pump, but on the other had, if I do do it, theres always a possiblity that something else will happen to the motor.
The only reason I disassembled the engine in the first place was to replace the head gasket. Now I'm thinking about building the block once and for all.
