I dont really know I keep finding more and more stuff thats done to the car that I wasn't told about. Do these have a double roller timing chain stock? I will have to go take off the covers and see. Thanks for the reply

The baffle's are still in the valve covers, and I have the oil pump out of the car. I will have to pull of the covers and see whats up. When I replace the oil pump should I replace the pump shaft with a heavier one?

Well this morning I was driving my car and all of a sudden I could here the valve's start ticking and drove it about a mile until I looked at the pressure light and there was no oil pressure so I parked it. I droped the front suspension and pulled off the pan and the oil pump shaft was broke. Well I looked in the oil pump and there was a little pin and there was another one in the oil pan. What do you think this could be I checked the timing chain and it wasn't from it. Could it be from a lifter? Here is a picture so you can tell what size they are please help me this is my daily driver!

Well I just pulled the valve cover and it doesn't have roller rockers. My dad thinks that it might be possible that it could be from a lifter and slid down the lifter galley and into the pump?

It would be real near impossible to get a piece that size back to the oil pump through the oil passages. I would be willing to belt that those pieces came from your oil pump. Not sure how one of them would make it to the pan but the one in the oil pump was the demise of your pump shaft.
