If it was bad enough to have rocks :shocked: in the HPOP inlet screen, then they went thru the LPOP to get there. It may be worn enough that it can't pump any oil. I think that engine is toast. Running it before THOROUGHLY fllushing out everything, including the oil galleries was a bad idea. It probably has grit in the bearings and just about everywhere else. Time for a complete teardown and rebuild (if possible).

X2 WOW Those people were pissed at you. Maybe you aught to name them and what city there in, so someone else don't get stuck with those dead beats.

Ain't no way you could have flushed all the dirt out of the oil pan. bet there is still an inch of mud in there yet. As klhansen said that engine is toast, without a complete tear down.
Sure sorry to hear about that.:icon_mad: :icon_mad: :icon_mad:

Rocks in the HPOP screen? How did it get past the Pick-up in the pan? I'ts screened... coarse, but still a screen. then how did they get through the LP oil pump? If you have ever seen one apart, how a rock would get through it is beyond me???

My guess is the ICP sensor, and or IPR have more debris in them. I'd say to pull the wiring off the ICP sensor and try to start it, but the thought of it actually starting makes the hair on my neck stand up! Having just put my motor back in last weekend isn't helping this sensation either.

The low pressure oil pump is a gerotor pump a virtual rock crusher. The rocks sure didn't go thru there, ......
I agree, Bill, but I think the OP was using the term "rocks" a little too liberally. He probably meant grit, which would be the remnants of the stuff that got sucked into the rock crusher.... er .... LPOP. There is a path for unfiltered oil to get from the LPOP to the HPOP reservoir.

I still think the engine is history.
