I pulled my inboard engine to do some work to the boat, but I want to do some maintenance to the engine while it's out. The engine ran great all last year with no issues. I'm hoping to not pull the engine out again for many years, so I'm thinking about pulling the oil pan and replacing the gaskets. Should I also replace the oil pump? I've never had one go out, but obviously it'd be a bad thing if it did. Is this just overkill?
The engine is a 7.4L from a 1986 boat. Everything runs great, but I don't know a lot of history on the engine either. Thanks.
