Last weekend smokeshow (jake) was doing some small adjustments on my tune. And while we were making a pull. I lost all oil pressure! Shut it down and pulled off. Had my mom pull me home at 230am and then went to work at 5am!
Well I finally pulled the pan, and found small pieces of metal. So I was looking hard for problems. And looked up in my pump and something didn't look right.
Went to put the pick up tube in the shed, and heard a funny sliding noise. So I tipped it up and out popped some nice chuncks of the pump

I'll be calling tsp tomorrow see what they say.
I havent see this before.
Really sucks! I like the oil pressure this used to make!

 

I like my cheepo melling oil pump. 20k hard miles since April and makes oil pressure still.

 

Wonder if too much metal was taken out with the port... At least you got it off the road before something really bad happened.

 

Youve put 20k on that pump since April?! That alot of driving, and I have a 50 mile commute!

 

This pump is toast!

 

Holy ****!! That thing shredded

 

Any one else have a pump fail like this? I know the pressure relief spring gets stuck all the time. And its called a pump failure, but I wanna know it anyone's pump grenaded like this!

 

Damn you don't mess aroud when you break something lol. Prob one of those 1 in a 1000 cases. Let us know what they say about it. Don't think I have seen or heard of a pump doing this. Good thing you shut it down in time.

 

Phillips pump grenaded....lol

 

Is TSP's pumps a oem pump that is massaged or is it aftermarket ? IMO stock pumps are fine, or possibly a ported stock pump. Atleast you were able to see it lost oil press, were able to save the engine
