Wow. Something hard got into the pump housing, either sucked through the
intake or a bit of the pump itself that broke off. I hate to say this,
but I'd take
a good look at all the bearings, rod and main, see what shape they are in.
Check the bottom of the sump for chunks. And definitely get a new pump
on the way.
Oddly enough, friday afternoon I finally got this TR6 motor in the car
and went to get it ready to fire up. Couldn't get any oil pressure, though
a number of things were tried. So when the shop opens up tuesday morning
I'll be pulling the pan, hope I don't find anything like your fractured
pump!
