A while ago, I believe back in early December, there was a disscussion on the cold start low oil pressure warning light that went away after a few seconds from startup which was possibly related the oil filter housing. Just before I pulled the cylinder head off, my car was exhibiting this symptom. George, I believe you were involved in this discussion and I think I remember you saying that you had taken apart your oil pump... I got a dilemma, I will be changing the oil pan gasket and don't know if I should replace the pump while I'm at it. I think there is nothing wrong with the pump but it has 173K mi on it. I don't have a sense for how long oil pumps last so if anyone can provide any info, I'd appreacite it much.
