Where do you suppose the metal from my oil pump went? I am guessing it wiped out my bearings.

(my reply) Negative. Motor was fine until the knock started. 7k miles on the 426 install. __________________ I'll call you bro. It was done with a dremel or file Kyle. (lol...sounds cool) It would have been ok except one side of the "chamfer" doesn't exist...so I may as well have had a stock gear. Check the pic out...you'll see it.
Yeah, I guess all the lathes on earth were busy that day....Jon metallic fragments and bearings don't work well together. Hopefully it's just the bearings and the crank isn't ruined...I guess if it's not outta your pocket, it's not really an issue. 2 times the charm!?!?!? Keep us posted.
