Replace oil pump?
I bought a 94 e150 hightop with 174k. It's a 351w I noticed the oil pan gasket was leaking I was wondering should I replace the oil pump while I'm under there. Back story with the van is that its been sitting for 5 years becuase the original owner didn't want to fixing the exhaust manifold leak and lost the key. I bought it put a new key changed all fluids and sprayed some fogger down the cylinder and the van started right up no knock,ticks or smoke. But I'm guessing the old owner try to fix the leak there is a broken stud with a snapper extractor in it. I ordered a new head and with the intake off I'm going to replace the oil pan gasket but while the pan is off I was thinking about the oil pump. So should I replace it?

Ok thanks I'll just give the pan a good cleaning and tighten down the blots and just keep a eye on it. Sooner or later the engine will be out to do a rebuild. While I was looking on rockauto I noticed they have oil pumps for high mileage has anyone used them.
