Bad Bad news from my 306
Well i probaly should have posted this earlier but i didnt. last weekend went home and pulled my engine out of our 86, took the oil pan off to change oil pump(kinda low oil pressure 14 lbs at idle) and sure enough bearing pieces on the pickup. granted there are about 10k of hard miles with numerous trips down the track. broke the engine down to bare block and # 8,7,4,3 and back ttwo mains were badly damaged. the rings, pistons and the cylinder walls looked great. dad took it to glenn sheppard to get the cylinder walls lokked at and check the crank. i dunno the statis yet though. if everything goes the way it should i will go home friday and get it all back together

Sounds like a broken,or rounded oil pump driveshaft to me! Have you pulled the pump off yet?

the pump driveshaft is not bent it is a arp driveshaft. i am pretty sure the oil pumpwent bad probally why low oil pressure. well got the news from machine shop and the crank just needs to be polished. the cylinders looked reaaly good but a few of the cylinders had lost the hone. so he is going to hone the cylinders then i will do a total reduild. i think the main reason the pump went out was from running the dog piss out of it for 10k.

Probably broke/collapsed the spring for the pressure valve inside the pump.And like Bad Int said,get a standard volume pump,all a high volume one is going to do is rob horsepower! My recommendation would be a standard volume high pressure one!

That highly unlikely.
