Re: What to do.......

Just to let you know, I had the same thing happen to a local kid who rebuilt his motor. He had the eliminator kit and we forgot to locktite the stub shaft. Lost oil pressure after 15 min. of driving. Found the stub shaft sitting in the pan. Destroyed the pump. Fortunately, after about 3 hours and a spare oil pump later, car was fine. Lesson learned. Bad thing is, he forgot to tighten the drain plug on the tranny and it ran out of fluid. I found the loose plug, tightened it and told him to buy some fluid. He never did. 3 days laters, it locked up on him. Brand new motor with about 250 miles on it, shot tranny. Sitting.......
