Anyone blown an oil pump up while driving? What happened when that happened if you did? I was cruising last night and all of a suddent my oil light came on, there was a little clatter under the hood, and the motor died I'm tryin to get some ideas....

 

my buddy has blown quite a few and swears its his UR race pully

 

Hrmm.. thats odd.. I have an underdrive pulley as well.. I hope its just the oil pump and not a broken rod or something...

 

check for metal shavings in oil pan/filter if shaving are found you in a heap of poopie

 

Mine went out last week

 

UR pulleys kill oil pumps. Lack of a harmonic balancer creates to much play/vibration in the crank and ends it all. UR pulleys are not worth having.

On the topic of oil pumps. Has anyone tried a Toga oil pump?

No harmonic balance = death to oil pumps
I assume you checked to make sure you did not break a timing belt. You could get the symptoms from that.

 

vibrations kills oil pumps and bearings.

i blew 3 oil pumps before realizing it was that stupid ur crank pulley. took it off and have not popped one in two years.

 

U/R CRANK PULLY IS TRASH FOR ANY ENGINE MAKING CLOSE TO 300WHP AND MORE

They swore with the pro drive oil gears I wouldnt have a issue. Well when I called then back with over 5000$ in damage they said well its your fault. I took the PULLY OFF, Smashed it into pieces and that was the first time I smiled in awhile.

Now making close to 500 and ZERO issues! STOCK CRANK PULLY

 

NO ****..... This makes perfect sense.

I went through 2 pumps already. Just got the motor back, tuning in progress.

I heard the 'plink', checked the guage, zero pressure, shut it down. Saved the motor, no spun bearings.

Yep I have some sort of LW pulley. Still do.

Time to go back to stock pulley.
