I have two quick questions

Is their a reccommended gasket brand to go with as far as a rebuild goes?
Second, would u reccommend replacing a oil pump under 50k miles?

 

oil pump isn't necessary unless it's malfunctioning.... i believe it's one of the things on the list at 60k. as far as the gasket brand they are all going to do the same thing but i only use honda OEM .... unless your going for a higher/lower compression... then stick with the big names... toda etc
