Like Doc said, my mechanics recco reman pumps over the new ones. They have not seen a failure on rebuilt only new. I have done three reman pumps from Zims on 951s. All were good for years.

Thanks Doc, gosselin...to take it one step further as this will be a spring project for me, how do you feel about the front seals, 'while your in there'? This will be on a street/DE car with 110,000 miles.
I tend to believe that when it comes to opening up the engine, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Thoughts?
Thanks.

If you get everything apart and it all looks good, then I wouldn't bother. If you have some seals that show signs of weeping, then I would replace them and the drive sleeves.
