    280 whp escort oil pump blew

    Was on my way back home from work today. got on the car in 4th gear to pass a slow car. Air fuel ratio was good with 15lbs of boost next thing I see is smoke all over the place no oil pressure and in boost. Engine dies on a two way higway with no shoulders going up a big hill Luckily I had enough speed to get up the hill and coast to a gravel road. What a crappy day. I was hoping this motor would make it through the summer. I suspect the internals are still intact but in poor shape.

    check your crank damper for dry rot in the rubber or possibly separating. those can lead to blown oil pump gears.

          ^ working on it. I have a gtx engine in the shop. Now it is just a higher priority. Looks Like the boundary engenering oil pump gears are going to make there way into the other engine.
