so Im about to do a complete timing belt replace, pump, seals etc. I bought a new Oil Pump Gasket. there are extra labor hours to replace this gasket. my issue is if they do it and mess up with oil pump I can not get a replace. I can not find a oil pump for the 2.7l.

so my question is, should I not have them replace the Oil Pump Gasket so there is no chance of anything happening to the pump? should I just leave it untouched and just do the crank and cam seals etc for the timing belt replace?

thank you!

Unless the gasket is leaking, there’s no reason to replace it.

 

ok thanks! bringing it in on Thursday AM.
