Just wondering, why did you not change the oil pump if you tore the engine down for a rebuild?
It didn't seem to have any issues and there is no regular replacement cycle like the water pump. Its also a simple replacement with the engine still in. Plus any issues with it will be apparent before a catastrophic failure.
Darn near everything else is brand new
I did clean it up but it was hardly varnished from oil anyway.
