 I took the timing cover off today, the oil pump drive gear was missing 3/4
of its width 1/3 of the way around, and the middle was broken, so spun on
the pump shaft... Still don't know why it made such a racket, but there are
millions of metal filings under the timing cover...

The timing was off by close to a 1/4 turn, just as well since the oil pump
wouldn't be turning if the engine started.

Getting the crankshaft bolt off was no problem with the impact wrench, even
with next to no compression in the engine.

Now I just have to clean it up (I'm thinking a strong magnet), and track
down a new gear.

Good grief,...hope the engine is not damaged too much,..if the engine
oil-light did eventually go out, its possible some of the damage which an
engine can sustain with low oil-pressure has been avoided. Once the oil-pump
pulley exited all together, the belt tension would have dropped off causing
the cam-timing and hence ignition timing to go so far out the engine
stopped,...cross your fingers.

Good luck

Jason
