72 318 Scamp. Low oil pressure 1 minute after startup.
Well I pulled the oil pump and pickup this afternoon and found more "stuff". Rock hard valve stem pieces were in the oil pickup along with some silicone! Imagine that.
The oil pump was scored inside and the pickup had a possible hairline crack that was covered with silicone.
This guy thought that silicone could solve all worldly problems.
Here are the pictures. Guess I will buy a oil pump and pickup for sure..
