Oil pump opinions?

[lanemeyer14]

Gotta get a new oil pump for the b8 that's going in to the festy just to be safe....wondering what your opinions are on the different options/brands? Keep in mind it's the protege sohc b8 engine. I was planning on getting a melling, but then found a really good deal on a beck/arnley. Is it one of those deals where you get what you pay for? Or are they both good quality?

Anybody? This is a jy engine and I'm just changing the oil pump to be safe

Melling or any new pump is gonna be better than the old junkyard pump.

^That's what I'm thinking. I just don't wanna get a bad one while trying to save some money. Melling is about $100 and I found the beck/arnley for $35 and $70

Where did you find one for $35? I'm in need of one.

I've ran both brands and had no issues with either.
