hey guys,
so, i just thinking out loud here for a project way in the future im wondering...
if we got a good solid healthy R32 motor (shorter oil pump drive) and we wanted to change out the achilles heel (OEM oil pump) as preventative maintenance...but we don't want to do a FULL engine rebuild top to to bottom... so.. we pull the motor out, drop the oil pan and take off the oil pump....
what else is worth changing at the same time?
heres what i was thinking..
while down there... change:
- oil pan gasket/seal
- new R34 N1 crank
- new ACL bearings (anyone reccomend a better brand?)
- new studs for bottom ends (ARP is best here?)
- oil pump (i don't want oem, or N1.. and i dont want something that will force me to get support mods, like i dont want to use an extended sump, oil restrictor etc..)
so can anyone reccomend anything else worth doing at the same time.. and also reccomend a good quality oil pump?
