Unless its badly scored sometimes you can get away with giving the valve a good polish with some very fine wet & dry
Always check the valve housing inside the oil pump body though, becuase *if* thats scored your looking at a new pump

thanks perksy,
it is only lightly marked but I never want this to happen while pushing the engine towards 7000rpm so I'm keen to fit the nylon replacement.
