5 speed... why no oil pump replacement??

I have a manual. I read the timing chains are prone to failure. I figured why no while I was there. I believe the oil pump is behind the crank gears so... again while I was there. Why do you say not to replace the oil pump??
I could do stem seals my self unless these are complicated. I ahve done many in SB chevy's and Mazda's while still on the car - but much easier with the head off.
The main reason I do not really want to resurface the head is I do not know any reliable places in the greater New Orleans area. I would either take it Mobile, AL (had great sucess there with a machine shop) or find someone on-line ...... I est I could get it back on the road for under 500. I allow myself to spend 500 a year and so far this would be my first expense this year (beside a tune-up and normal oil changes).
So I take it the gaskets just wear out... I pulled the plugs and all loog nice light light grey hence NO OIL. I have always put BARS in it since I brought it 2 years ago (172K).... I guess nothing last forever.
Thanks!
