May sound stupid but,what kind of filter was
used.Beleive it not I had one guy use a cheap "monkey lube filter"made of paper.The paper some how got out of the cartrage and blocked an oil passage.Did almost the same thing low to
no pressure and ugly valve tap.Long story short
No damage "as far as 6 months of driving,and
no lack of performence.
Good luck let us know!
The pump pick up I think is tack welded to the
pump.
