Oil Pumps - Have you ever had any issues?

I have my engine (D16Z6) off at the machine shop to be checked over and I'll be assembling it, when I do, should I replace the oil pump? Has anyone had any issues with Honda oil pumps? Low pressure or anything? The reason I ask is coming from the Supra world, with the 7M (which have some major bottom end issues w/ oil pump issues too) we usually buy a new pump when rebuilding and shim the spring in the pump to get some more pressure. I want to make sure this new engine get plenty of oil.

Thanks!

Thanks.
