Inspected the parts to my oil today and noticed that there is wear/scoring on both the shaft and cover housing. Being a steel shaft rotating in an aluminum housing I'd expect some wear. Is this typical, or do these parts need to be replaced?

Oil Pump Wear

Again it is not an exact science -But lubrication is important
And pictures can be difficult interpret
Worst case the shaft looks usable the housing not so much
I would look around for replacement not necessarily New ..Is it a bigger job then Renew.
How does the rest of the pump look ?
I bought one from a salvage 5 years ago or so I cant remember it being expensive

I have not run into that myself but is there enough meat on that cover to drill and install a bushing?
For the fun of it I googled a bit much more expensive than I thought
Can see how it looks inside not sure it fits your year

Sort of what I figured in terms of quality. I have an extra shaft that looks better and found a NOS cover on Ebay for not much more than a used one, so I will go with that.
On a related subject, for the right side cover where the oil pump and filter sit, what mounting bolts (other than the oil filter cover) require a copper washer? When I removed the cover, only one of the long upper bolts had a washer, but a kit I bought suggests that 3 bolts need washers. I looked at the mounting holes in the crankcase and all of them seem to terminate without any opening to an oil filled area, and all of the bolts go through the gasket, so just unclear about the placement and need for the washers.
Oh jeeze what kind of oil are you using? LOL
the partz manuals are full of it
The two that hold the oil filter cover on and all the bolts below the engine oil fill level. Been working for me, others opinions WILL vary.
But I buy a hundred at a time from China and don't hold back on using them.

The right side of my engine has zero copper washers.... none, zip... nada....
Think about it... they're all blind holes. Where the hell is the oil gonna come from?
4yrs, 5k plus miles and nary a wiff of oil. Proof's in the puddin' as they say.

Gasket surface is thinnest at the bolt holes?
Dammit... made me go look.....
Nope. Plenty of meat 'round the holes. It's a mystery to me why they want coppers there.
...and the "which goes where" factor keeps things interesting
