Because the horizontal bit shuttles back and forth the vertical bit takes a bashing too.

Everything else looked good and the engine is still going. The bushing that the slotted oil pump drive goes through didn't seem to be effected. That engine came out of a parts car I bought that had caught fire and toasted the interior. It had been a nice rust free car which I still have for body parts.
