I checked the bearings -they were all good, oil passageways - all clear, no sign of swarf, and the cylinder walls were all good. No sign of damage, nothing missing, so I guess I'll never know the cause. The engine only had 97 miles on it when I lost oil pressure and found the pump damage. Everything on that engine was new (pistons, bearings, tensioner, crank pulley, cam gear set, turbocharger, oil cooler, cooler lines, turbo plumbing, etc).
There is no clatter, it sounds almost like metal scraping on metal.
So my only choices now are:
1. Continue to drive with the noise.
2. Pull the oil pump and inspect.
I've spent too much time and money on this engine already, so I think I'll just drive it and see what happens!
