You are obviously not familiar with the pump used in the 603 engines!
They were early failures when the arm that has the small bearing in it disintegrated, jamming into the timing ramp that is driven by the chain, then the engine is self destruct. Then there are the small bearings that fell out and get into the oil pump. I had posted pictures of a failed one but the posts were lost when the server failed. I'll have to look for the pics. This isn't the 617 we are talking about. YOU DO NOT REPAIR THE 603 VAC PUMPS!
DO NOT LISTEN TO ANY ADVISE FROM 617 OWNERS ON THIS THREAD!
