OK, I think I know what almost everyone will say, but I gotta ask anyways.

I am re-building a G54B motor. It is now bored 0.030 over, flat topped hypers, rings, crank ground and balanced, new timing chain, etc., new water pump, 1.6 ratio roller rockers, balance shafts removed, decked block, re-conditioned con rods, etc.

The dealership (stealership) wants $130 for a new oil pump. If the motor was never blown up, do I need to replace the oil pump?

So far I have spent more money than just outright purchasing a crappy re-manufactured engine and I haven't even started to assemble it.

So, do I really need to replace the oil pump? Is there a re-build kit? Does the FSM have clearance numbers for checking the condition of the current one?

OK, you get the idea, Tell me what I should do.
