Metering oil pump rebuild kit

Has anyone bought/used the metering oil pump rebuild kit from Lowes Performance shop in Florida?

Bought several from them over the years, and it includes the large, oblong O-rings needed to reseal the pump against the front housing. Also comes with smaller O-rings and copper crush washers for the OMP lines, too.

I'd buy with confidence from them - are you having an OMP issue, specifically?

I have been using an OMP rebuilt using the lowes kit for over five years without issue.

Thanks for the response long duck! Yes its leaking from that area. Always have oil laying around the housing below the pump. I replaced the lines (old and brittle but not leaking apparently) and still the leak. The pump does work though. When the kit comes I will do the rebuild. Ordered last week, should be here soon.....
