Sorry to hear it bud. I know the pain of an oil pump fail thankfully I dodged a bullet with it that time.

Good luck with the new plans

It's a lot of expense to do if you don't actually need it doing, but then can you put a price on piece of mind? ;-) First pump I've had go out of 5 and there's not really many cases of it... Just two quite close together.

Not sure exactly what happened to Alex's pump.
