OBS Jedi-Do Good
well the pm does not work yet either it looks like. there were three plastic parts related the oil pump i believe shaft bushing, shaft guide and shaft retainer. cylinder head drain holes are not that big and i dont think the cylinder block drains were either. have not taken out the oil pump before but here is a breakdown of the lower block for the most parts.
and those are quick disconnect lines on the oil adapter.
if you lost oil pressure suddenly i would not propose reusing that pump and it is likely the the press in pick up assembly may not really stay press in any more after tearing it down. you can get a new pump or a repair kit for it. as for the sludge being there. clean it out of course but i think i would be careful and put a new complete one in there withe a new pick up part as well. both should cost under $50 for melling parts.
cant think of anything right away of where else that plastic part would come from.
