Water pump?

[Kiwivan]

Have been told that they wear,and can course over heating?
My ine has now done 220,000 kays
Time for a change?
If so is it time for the oil pump as well?
It is not running hot and has good oil pressure,but is it a good idea to replace?

If its not making any bearing noise it should be ok but thats a lot of km there prob would be some corrosion for sure i would change it peace of mind

Oil pump should be fine

Mate my water pump just dropped it’s gits on my WB. It was new when I rebuilt the engine less than 100000km ago. The fan hit the radiator and I nearly cooked it. There was no bearing noise that I noticed. I assume you have run coolant/inhibitor.
As for oil pumps, it’s common for cam lobes to wear off due to low oil pressure at low revs. Usually cars that do lots of slow, short running around town. I reckon that’s what most restored cars do. As far as I know though, gear pumps either work or they don’t. If you change your oil regularly and use quality filters they should be good for a long time.
