no o-ring=wore out pump?
#4
It's more likely that your main and rod bearings will wear at an accelerated rate due to the reduced oil volume being delivered while the pump is sucking air and cavitating.
Therefore, even after you've installed an o-ring, the pump will be unable to build sufficient oil pressure as measured at the sending unit.
Check the oil and filter you were running while the o-ring was missing for metal shavings/powder. Cutting open the oil filter cannister and removing the paper media will allow you to look between the pleats for this.
