quick oil pump question

[jrendel]

first off, sorry if this is in the wrong section. Anyway, I am in the middle of rebuilding a ka dual cam with forged internals. However it is missing the oil pump/front cover. I tried searching but i didnt find a whole lot of info. Can you guys point me in the right direction to buy a oil pump. I found some on ebay, but ebay makes me kind of wery, is it best to go OEM? will the ones on ebay that are not oem work find? i also found this one for a decent price... KA24DE Nissan New Oil Pump (91-1/94 240SX) (http://www.store.partsdinosaur.com/product880.html) ...but is it legit. any help is appreciated? thanx in advance

You're confusing yourself a little. Just because it's on Ebay, doesn't mean 'Ebay' makes the part. You know that right? I hate Ebay with a passion but I'm also smart enough to realize that not everything is crap. Companies sell all kinds of name brand parts, Moog, Crower, Beck-Arnley, FelPro, Bosch, TRW, even JDM names like Greddy and HKS on Ebay. If it's a quality aftermarket replacement part it doesn't really matter where you buy it.
