Re: what to check before replacing oil pump
i have gotten pieces of bearing in my cylinder head before so i guess its possible that some worked their way to the piston with the oil and then scratched your cylinder walls up pretty bad.

i think its just the pump, no pictures of it but it is scored up pretty badly inside and the tolerances are so small that a feeler gauge twice the max fits
i do not have a knock the car was running for mere seconds before i shut it down

im still a little confused at what your problem is. a little bit of history might help, like did you just do a rebuild, or did you just buy this engine. did you wake up one morning and the oil light wouldnt go out? im kinda lost

Re: what to check before replacing oil pump
i read that and it makes sence, but i still dont see a lot of oil getting burned. but its like my bike. at high rpms it uses a little bit of oil. it only has 10k miles so im sure nothing is worn and there are no leaks at all. what you are saying is true, but i dont think its enough to be noticeable
