If your doing all that you might as well replace the oil pump, the water pump, and all of those good things.

The pumps themselves or the gaskets?... The gaskets have already been changed I'm doing a full engine rebuild... The block is done I just have to do the head now...

I mean while its out you might as well change them all. I changed all of mine. It will live again in 2-3 days. after 5 months.

All what, the gaskets? Sorry I'm misreading your post.

Replace the pumps. like oil pump, and water pump. I mean while the engine is out you might as well your suppose to replace them after like 50-100K anyways thought.

I'm trying to keep down on the price a lil, because I'm trying to save for the 7agte conversion.... I just want it to get me by till then... It was at 300,000 miles and using a quart of oil a day so it couldn't wait....

You should still replace them. If your rebuilding you should. I replaced everything, just a standard OEM rebuild. Even bought timing belt kit and replaced all of that. New harmonic balancer everything.... but back on topic i wouldnt buy from eBay go get it from Toyota or Advance Auto, somewhere from there.
