    Gear Vendors in but big engine problems

    Sorry to hear the bad news. Was the oil pump shaft replaced during the build? If yes, any chance of having a metallurigical check done to see if the heat treat was correct or if a faulty part was installed. The blame for this can go all the way back to the manufacturer of the oil pump shaft.
