I'm going to be working on my 996 in a few weeks and Im thinking on putting in the LN Engineering Chromoly Upgrade oil pump shaft while I have the oil pump out. What do you think?

I think it is an excellent move, the OEM shaft is an investment cast piece and can snap fairly easily, leaving you with no oil pressure. The LN shaft is chrome moly, and actually stronger than the oil pump itself.

great. I was thinking while I had it out I would just replace it. I have not really heard of this happening very often but for $25 so why not. Any other little things you think I should address?

Check the oil pump gears for signs of galling or pitting, if they are, time for a new pump. Also a good time to remove the check valve and spring on the pump housing, clean it out and replace the spring (they lose tension over time).
