Thanks patrickt for doing that. Andronikos, main journals in pictures 0017 and 0019 concerns me. Can you get a better shot? If that is not bad you may have lucked out big time. Looking at that pump no wonder the pump shaft broke. That screen is so fine I can't imagine metal going through it to cause that pump to fail. Maybe a weld flaw or debris inside the pick-up tube that broke loose, who knows. So it looks like the pump failed and broke the pump shaft. The loss of pressure caused the lifters to lose pressure and bounce in their bores until two popped out. You should have had major lifter noise. A lot of clattering!
Any other theories?
