from what i understand, it's no the oil pump that is the weak link, it's the plastic gear on the crank.

jason, that is why i carry a spare gallon of oil on the boat, with the v having a 60 gallon tank, if i even think i have a mixing problem, i dump the gallon of oil in the fuel tank. i have only had to do this twice in 18 years, once it was a split hose to the engine tank and the other was a bad oil alert module.
the only bad is sometimes the only symptom you get is when the engine seizes...

something i have thought that would help in sensing oil injection problem was some kind of pressure gauge on the oil tank
