I have a full magnus build that was almost wrecked by that colt/mirage stub eating my oil pump housing and locking up the oil pump.

Just for conversations sake, has anyone tried using the 90 straight cut oil pump gears vs. the newer ones to possibly combat this problem? Wait, I'm getting ahead of myself... Was 90 the only year the oil pump had straight cut oil pump gears? Just curious if the straight cut gears would put less load on the sides of the oil pump housing and not cause this problem...

Or is it the actual stub itself? Guess I've never heard much of this problem until now...
