Now what do I do if anything about some kind of warranty
It's not the engine builders fault the pump failed
I find it highly unlikely that schadek is going to do anything
I'm probably SOL with expecting anything to go my way in that regard _________________ 58' pg/sg silo fridge westy

For a brand new pump, that had a lot of shit go through it.
Not sure it was mentioned before, but what weight oil? Was it really cold outside when you drove it?
Can you post a picture of the end of the drive gear where the shaft is pressed in? The end opposite the drive tang. Just wondering if he pressed it out a ways to fit the cam face better.
Do you really need a 30mm pump?

So, did the gear spin on the shaft because it was loose to begin with, or because the pump gears were bound up trying to force some grit through the pump?
Is there any trace of whatever chunks caused that damage inside the hose between the pump and the filter? I'm curious as to what it is _________________ modok wrote:

Or the case just wasn't clean enough to begin with. Swarf in the passages. Could have weakened the pump at that time and just took a while to let go.
Tempting to say the pump failure killed the bearings. But if the pump failure killed the bearings, the bearing debris could not have killed the pump. But debris from some other source could have killed the pump.
So yeah, possible some junk hid in the engine somewhere and it took 6k miles to get loose. Possible.
I question how good a job your builder did. Your pump damage wasn't caused by the bearing debris.
