I feel your pain, I too had a pump lock up and break a pump shaft. Looked like a twizler when I pulled it out! Mine ruined my old 302 short block be cause I did not catch it in time. I hope everything is ok with your motor and it is just the pump and shaft.

I also had a brand new roller lifter that failed under normal driving conditions and ruined my block and cam. Ford Motorsport said no warrantee on racing parts and will not even replace the defective lifters. I know they are a good company that a lot of people have good luck with but I will never buy anything from them again if I can get it from someone else. My car is still broke because I cannot afford to fix it.

Hey Rick why are you using a high volume oil pump? Is you motor set up for it with a little extra clearance? I have heard that can cause problems if not.

Maybe PKRWUD can correct me if I am wrong or if I am right maybe he can explain it a little better.
