>While the tolerances on the old pump check out (per my machinist) , the
>owner of the car was complaining of low oil pressure (40 psi running, 20 PSI
>at idle).  There was nothing on the top or bottom end suggested major
>problems to the main or rod bearings nor the typical rockershaft issues.

>Effectively, the cam and lifters failed and the valves and guides were
shot

>All of that said, there are some options for the
oil pump as follows:

>Replace with new gear type - readily available.
>
>Replace with original style vane type - on backorder with all known
>suppliers with no delivery date in site.

>Re-use the old pump as is

>Obtain a re-built pump (I have no idea where I'd have this done)

>I was
told that the gear type makes pressure at high rpm and the vane style
>at low
rpm - if this is true, given this owner's driving style, I'm not sure
>that a
high rpm pump is the best way to go.
