OK my car as lost oil pressure it has a new hv oil pump put in about 2000 miles ago the drive gear is the stock one with a 140,000 miles i think this is the problem what you guys think..

we can "guess"....but you will have to pull intake manifold to check the status of the drive gear.

initially you can drain oil and remove the oil level sensor to see if the pick up tube fell off.

also if there is metal shavings on the oil plug...that is a sign "something" is wearing

you dont even have to do that. just tap the pan with your hand to hear if it did fall off. it will bounce around when u do hit it. and pull the intake

While the hv pump may have killed the drive, it did have 140k on it so it may have been on its way out. The hv pump may have just finished it off. Did you confirm it was installed properly or in good condition prior to installing the new pump?

BALLSS

was your motor machined for larger bearing clearances..and speced for a HV pump?

or are the bearing clearances stock?

what weight oil you using?
