Any ideas to why this oil pump was failing like it did.
It appears I have a combination of problems stemming from (oil starvation) gobs of RTV and old gasket material in the crank journals but I would not want to repeat the same mistake with the oil pump.
Could improper timing belt tension cause this? I'm assuming the metal shavings that damaged the rod and crank bearings came from the oil pump but I could be wrong. I cannot find another source of the metal that cut groves in the bearings
