Re: Oil pump failure?

My thoughts on runtime vs brg damage... if its hurt its hurt and any runtime is going to cause more damage, but you need to determine what the problem is and that entails runtime for troubleshooting.

You got to do what you got to do here. If the noise doesn't sound like a rod is going to fly out and the oil doesn't have metalflake in it, I personally would screw a mech gauge in it and drive it to see what the oil pressure does.

Guys pressurizing the oiling system via an upstream oil port are doing better than nothing for the topend but they are actually pushing oil out of the pump....
