I have been getting paranoid about my oil pump again. :banghead:
Atlantic British sells an oil pump gear for the Disco 2. http://www.roverparts.com/Parts/8979K.cfm
My 03 Disco is about to hit 100k miles. I assume that the pump gear has worn away some of the timing chain cover if it has the alignment issue. I would think that installing a new gear in a worn cover may be a good way to reduce the chance of failure due to a possibly cracked gear, and that stress may be reduced on the new gear because that material may be missing. Any thoughts on this idea? I do have some oil leaks, and may have to change the seal anyway.
