I just suffered a break down of a engine I got built by JGEngine dynamics. I am in the process of rebuilding my bottom end for i spun bearings and messed up my crank should i change my oil pump for my new build it works fine but I am not sure if i should use it again. Tell me what u guys think

 

get a new pump.

debris from the spun bearing is probably inside that pump. even if you take it apart and clean it up chances are the rotor or housing could be scored/scratched and you might have some oil pressure issues.

 

i ovaled a eagle rod...spun the bearing...eat the crank...take the pump apart and clean it. ive got 20k+ miles on it now...

 

my engine builder/tuner always uses new oil pumps, he says its not worth it to risk it, you spend so much building a motor, do you want to risk it for such a cheap part (cheap in contrast to overall build), and make sure JG does NOT build your next engine...
