Thanks for the feed back.
ByPro what are you looking for to determine if an oil pump is still good or needs to be replaced? (just thinking ahead)

You will see when you get it apart, it's supposed to be a very tight fit in there. I was more thinking if you see alot of metal in the gears you can better judge if you might be able to save this engine or start looking for another engine to get your car running sooner.

Yeah, for sure you want to find out what's reusable, but you might decide at some point that it will be better to buy another engine. You want to take your time disassembling the engine & inspect every part as you go.
