New block..Oil pump failed

[vtecwho]

..Oil pump failed **UPDATE..NEW 331 COMBO**

Long story short, I let my car war up and after about 5 min of idle i noticed i had no oil pressure. I noticed slight lifter clacking and thats when i noticed the oil pressure.

I checked the gauge and it was working. I even unscrewed the supercharger oil feed line then started the motor back up for a couple of seconds and agian, no oil....

Im guessing the oil pump failed and i dont care to trouble shoot it, i have been wanting to build it anyways so thats what im going to do.

since i have a stock block and 10lbs of boost, a new, stronger block is needed.

I just dont see the sense in re-building or replacing the oil pump in a block that will probably split soon anyways.

my plan was to go all out. I have been anticipating this and have money to put into it.

Im planning on getting new tranny, probably Gforce, and a new block with all new forged internals.

i want to put a dart sportsman block in there but have not decided what internals to get. i will be increasing boost by getting a T-trim so im prepared to spend what ever i need to to make it bullet proof. My HP goal is about 550, with comparable torque.

let me hear some of you thoughts and experiences!!

thanks guys,

For your current block, you probably twisted the pump drive shaft.

talk to rick he will help you out, thats what I would do. You want someone to build the engine with your end goal in mind, that has done many of them. I had mine built by a NMRA guy and i have never had a problem and they are not so expensive like buying a long block from off someone's "shelf"

good luck,

Its been a long road getting everything together so I thought I would sum it up and let everyone know how it went.

probably snapped the oil pump drive shaft, as for that g-force tranny my little brother has one in his stang and I can tell you the thing whines really hard with those straight cut gears, and shifting sounds like someone threw a engine block out the window. That tranny is heavy duty.
