Siezed oil pump = ...... (with Piccy)
Hi All,
After yesterdays problems of the siezed oil pump, I got the cam out today to inspect the damage.
 
Shafted
so what to do next?.......
I'm leaning towards a new engine, as I've lost confidence in this one.
I'll rebuild it anyway as I have a spare cam, and sell it 1600 xflow +0.030 pistons anyone?

Just replace the camshaft, followers and pump and check the rest of the engine.
The lobes look a little tired on this camshaft anyway. It should be ok once replaced, as long as you get all of the broken metal out of it.
Kindest Regards,
Richard.

It will need a full strip down at the least as you will need to get all of those metal fragments out of the oil galleries before you fire it up again!
