Oil pump tidbit

I picked up a little tid bit of oil pump info today.
The oil pump on my 38 died and I didn't notice the 0 on my oil pressure gauge until it was too late. Yep scored the crank(drat) Anyway it seemed that the pin on the pump shaft sheared. Now for the tid bit- Some of the pumps are coming through with a roll pin instead of a solid pin and there have been failures(mine was a roll pin lucky me). Sometimes new isn't better than old
