I have about 100k on my b18b and was getting a little worried that it might be time to change my oil pump soon. What happens when these things fail from being old? And what's a good mileage to replace them as preventative maintainance.

I'd prefer to just wait til my next timing belt job comes around in 20-30k or so.

 

anybody?

 

That's not a black or white question. How long does a valve job last? How long do piston rings last? It's all by degree and how the car is treated. In *general* it'll last as long as the car does. OTOH if you race, it won't last as long.

 

well actually... I usually adjust my valves every 30k... hehe...

I'm thinking like a timing belt. You know you should change that around 60-80k or else you risk screwing up your engine. Would the same happen with an oil pump?

 

Oil pumps generally dont go out its the gear that does.

Toda has one for like 175.00...supposed to be good for high revs.
