that is what my normal mechanic said that oil pumps are reliable.....and also said that the stuff, crud, or what not just broke free and in turn entered the bearings and Hence scared one of em...i feel the oil pump if taken out and sent of to be inspected will come back in perfect working order seeing has how simple it is. My concern is his negilence in the repair by letting the motor sit open for 4 days before actually putting the jeep back together.
His offer is to pull the "new" pump off and replace it at no cost to me and while he is there he will check the rods and bearings and fix it at no cost to me BUT if the oil pump comes back as OK then i have to reimburse him for the work that was as i feel was caused by his negilengce in the first place.
