Default Re: Break-in gone wrong!

Considering the pump picks up oil and you can see if flowing nicely out of the discharge port of the housing by just turning the gear by hand shows the oil pump is working correctly. This is certainly a mystery.
If it was me I would follow the path the oil flow must travel to verify there's no big opening that would allow the oil to flow so freely you would not see a build of pressure at the sender port.
