hey guys just had some questions for you guys. heres the story, im building a b18a1 motor for my EG. i bought the motor last week and im totally rebuilding it do to the fact it had 150K on it. so far i have bought just about everything to make it completely fresh. the crank right now is out for polishing. i already honed the cyclinders. i bought new rings, ACL main and rod bearing, ARP head studs, new water pump, distributor, alternator, power steering pump and many other things. but like i said im not sure what oil pump to get. i want to get a high performance oil pump since it is completely disassembled at the time and i will be turboing it within the next year once it is completely broke in.
now the problem is not sure where to look or which on to buy. i google and found, i think it was TODA oil pump for around 165.00 but it was made of steel and im not sure if since the oil pump is the end cap on my block if it would leak around the oil pan since the block is made of aluminum and they have different expansion rates under heat. but i also found some performance TODA gears for 299.99. so now im even more confused on whey just the gears go for more.
also i was kinda worried about if the aftermarket ones would line up perfectly and would aloud the oil pan to seal right. even if it was a 32nd off wouldnt it leak from the gasket. so i was thinking about having my stock one worked on. the only place i found was on ebay in cali and im in michigan, so the turn around time would suck. plus it also looks like they dont replace or do anything to the gears. here is the link to the one on ebay. someone please help me i need to get this motor together and installed befroe summer.
