Just replace them when I start to feel guilty about running them so long. If you ever build a sbc, call Larry Stewart Sr about buying an oil pump.

Takes a while for the newbies to catch on Ed. I was doing the same thing to my pumps back in the late 70's and 80's. And we're not talking about changing the bypass spring.
