Get the EPS oil gallery gasket and hardware kit. Oil pump gears are a known weak point but really only at sustained high RPMs, which shouldn't be a problem on the street.
Are you suggesting sending the block out to a machine shop for reconditioning? I have a call into a local shop but haven't heard back. I would like to keep same compression ratio but upgrade rings and pistons, possibly have the crank worked up.

I know the slippery slope of engine mods well.... it becomes an obsession!
