Results of work on oil pump
I dropped my pan and put in a new oil pump. Simple and easy just messy. I checked the main bearings and they look really good. I put on a new K&N oil filter and the Fel-Pro one piece gasket. I love that gasket! It made it sooo easy!
Results: My oil pressure went up slightly. It did help then. It *may* have stopped my oil leak!!!!!!!!!!!!  That would be awesome! I have only had it put back together for a couple hours, so we'll see. I forgot to put those pan "strengthening" strips, but it doesn't seem to matter.

One piece gaskets are the best. Did you replace your rear main seal while you were there?

I hope you replaced the timing cover seal while you had it apart, and used a seal saver on the balancer !!!
