Oil pump change
 
Guy's,

When I changed my cambelt 4yrs ago on my MY96 V2 STI 555, I also changed the oil pump which I had from Graham Goode ( Modified Oil pump ).

I am changing my cambelt again in August and wondered if I should change the pump again ?

It always has good oil pressure, 6 bar when cold and between 4 & 5.5 bar when hot at about 90'c.

What do you reckon ?

If you have good oil pressure when cold and warmed up, then I dont see any point in changing it tbh.
When you say it's a modified one from GGR, is it just the pressure relief valve changed for a straight bodied one or was it a larger pump eg 11mm gears?
The modified pump should have had the backing plate screws loctited when they assembled it - the screws coming loose is the most common cause of reduced oil pressure.

Mick
