Charlie, we have exactly what you said. Wonder why it didn't shut down the engine. SIMOOOO!!!

There are oil pressure switches that can be used to turn off the engine if pressure drops.

Aren't y'all using megasquirt?  There might be a way to program that to shut things down if pressure drops below a certain threshold and notify you so that it is less of a mystery once you start investigating.

I looked at the pump not the price. WOW! Those pumps are expensive. Maybe a google search would turn up some better deals? Good luck.

Chuck, if you think it's only money, I suspect you're willing to sponsor that for us... right? And it won't be that 1400+ dollars to get it up here and for the next event...

Empty distributor is only for rotating the oil pump.

Stickers say that we have done a lots of hard abusing for stock forged crank and we are still using the same one from the beginning. It has survived two rod twisting accidents etc. Well over 200 runs and counting... Next event 28Th of June to 1st of July, so we have to hurry with that distributor gear...

Crankshaft seems to be okay after polishing three of four bearing surfaces slightly with wet paper. All rod bearing changed and oil pump checked and seems to be ok too. There was some minor scratches so something small has gone through. Now biggest problem is to find new gear for distributor as old is cracked. Would something from SBF family work? We have no spares as we have had one similar issue while back ago. Or anywhere were we could find new for Y-block?

I thought y'all had a crank trigger.  Is that on one of the other vehicles?
