Again, it can. It's just about the rarest engine part to fail - a sender is much more common, as is some other failure or wear that causes pressure issues, and even does cause pump damage or contamination that would be the end of diagnosis for many people (like, apparently, you), who would declare it to be yet another mysteriously bad oil pump.

Op asked for help, not for sumone who has to prove his point(which he is wrong about) to help solve an issuse.

Oil pumps fail...EVERY MENCHANICAL MOVING COMPONENT has a life span. Basic friction, and wear will eventually cause a pump to fail.

But by all means if u so have to PROVE your point, pay the op to ship his motor to you. Tear it down, pay to have the metal checked, oil content checked and come back with ur findings. And please rub it in all our faces.

It's not that I'm right, it's that you're full of shit.

You reverted to the "every part fails" logical fallacy. Sure, they do, absolutely dead last, no matter what lazy shop told some bros it was their oil pump.

He asked about hot oil pressure. I said find out how hot the oil is, you said "it's your oil pump brah".

THIS is what im saying lol, just because he hasn't seen it happen doesn't mean it has never happened. Sure it doesn't happen often and is the least likely to happen doesn't mean it has never happened. There's all kinds of threads on SR guys that have had oil pumps fail.

On top of that in my post i never said it was what i thought failed but a possibility hence why i want to get an oil cooler to see if that helps (which im sure it will)
