    Timing belt and oil pump changes 2.7 vs 3.0

    I know the engines both need timing belt changes, but is the oil pump update needed on the 3.0 engines or just the 2.7's?
    I'm looking at a replacement for my D3 and I see lots of mention of belt changes, but no mention of oil pumps!
    And yes, I'm coming around to diesel!!!!!

    The 3.0 did not have the oil pump issue as it was resolved in the 2.7 run.

    The only reason you need to replace the 3.0 oil pump is if it has low oil pressure, it has high mileage and or it is just prudent to change it. Some change with each cam belt change as the additional cost is relatively small with the front end pulled apart.

    Correct, Garry expanded on it. 2.7 its a must do but 3.0 isnt as urgent.

    There seems to be an even better oil pump out there, not sure if it is just the latest model or really is something special.

    That is an aftermarket pump - with these I like to go genuine Ford for less than half the price of that one.

    Given the oil pump (on a 2.7 at least) tends to be the most failure prone part, I think I'd be pretty wary of aftermarket.

    latest FordMoCo has a 15mm impeller as opposed to 13.5mm. Might help the oil pressure being maintained a bit.

    My old D3 is getting timing belts etc done and will get him to fit the new FordMoCo oil pump I got in from Poland. Donating the crank seal tool I had machined by a mate to him.
