Took the oil pump off and started to check clearances per the repair manual. I think this one is No Good. Gear to Housing clearance more than 0.010. Manual states max of 0.005. Shaft also appears to have quite a bit of movement.

I sent Mr. Vines a message about the Olds kit.

I'll hopefully have some time tomorrow to check a rod bearing or two and also inspect the cylinders as PackardV8 suggested. I sure appreciate all of the help and advise.
