Now I've stripped and cleaned the oil pump and checking the clearances I'm of the mind to replace it, seems wise not to with all the work being done on the engine for it to fail because of a oil pressure problems.
I will have the donor car next week to look it too, but with 98,000 on the clock it could be worse. The seller has a folder of bills and history she looking for which may provide info on if its been replaced.

This is my record of the restoration of my 1977 Triumph TR7, I bought the car in 1983 for £1500. Over the four years of driving it I had got married, moved to a 110 year old cottage in need of renovation and given a new company car. The TR was parked in the garage (1987) at the end of the garden. I always joked saying "that one day I put it back on the road". Twenty-four years later (Nov 2011) that day has arrived - wish me luck.
