Default 15xxxx ls1

Guys I am changing out my timing chain cover gasket should I replace my Oilpump I have about 50PSI cold and 40 cold at idle and should I change my timing chain or should I just inspect it once I have the cover off. What else should I replace since I will have the front end appart. I have already replaced the PS pump and alt.
TIA

I think I would if it's never been replaced. Water pump gaskets, coolant, timing chain.
But then again if it ain't broke don't fix it lol. If you do replace pump make sure to replace the o ring

Depends on how many miles you have done on the gear that's on there. Have you thought about the split timing chain cover as a replacement for the one piece.

If it were me and digging into the motor like that i would be doing a cam swap and changing all the wear items out for new to freshen the motor up.
