I am working on 85 Ford ranger, I took it on an off road trip and beat it up pretty bad, had to drive at high rpm to get up a hill and it got very hot by the time I got to the top. I let the engine cool and started to drive it home. After about 4 or 5 miles (maybe 10 min of driving) I noticed that my oil pressure gauge was bouncing at the bottom of no pressure so I had my buddy tow me home. I Fixed all the things I broke (Engine mounts, smashed carburator, broken shifter, broke clutch line, ect.) and put in a new oil pump and took off the valve covers to visually see how well it is pumping. I had no oil coming up thru the push rods so i took off the distributor to prime the pump manually with a drill and after about a min of spinning the shaft that goes to the pump I got a small drizzle of oil from the holes that are on the rockers but still no oil out of the push rods. Someone I know said that I may have spun the bearings and that would block the oil flow, If that is the case i have to do a rebuild so If you can think of anything else I can try I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance
