Ok I pulled my Oil Pump apart today, the adapter does not seem to be to badly worn. the gears seem the edges are warn, knicked, chamfered. The sides fo teh pump housing seems to be worn as well.
1) Should I attempt to put the midplate and new gears in? to buy me some time for the next 2 months untill my Cj gets stripped to the frame?
2) Should I change the timing cover now as well?
3) Start stripping it down, and start the resto project now?
Also could a high pressure spring be used with this style oil filter adapter?
