11000km after a complete rebuild, we had a major oil pump failure. Wondering if anybody else has seen this before?
Oil pump was a new replacement SK.
The engine lost oil pressure out of the blue, about 10 minutes into a drive one morning. After removing the oil pump, we found the oil pump ring gear had cracked in 3 places and jammed up in the housing. No debris found what-so-ever. Not sure how it happened, besides the part being faulty.
Crank is OK, but it took out the main and rod bearings, camshaft and cylinder head...
