**** Mats thats bad luck
I forgot to put oil in one of my 2T boxes once... got distracted by my wife .. she asked me some irrelevant question which should not have taken up much of my concentration but she has enormous breasts
.
the solution for the oil pump gear i think is rather simple .. do some complicated modifications to the oil pump and or make a billet gear that is nearly contacting the clutch hub
then when assembling you will have to be super careful to check clearance between clutch and oil pump gear.

That's tough love..... I don't even want to imagine how it must feel...
Suggestions:
Install an oil pressure gauge or warning lamp to avoid future mishaps?
Avoid Norway as the roads there are way to slow and tiring and you drive under constant fear of getting fined way too much?

Thanks for the condolences and peptalk!
You're right, Spanner! Thanks for putting my petty whining into perspective!
About that distraction, Bushie... Large breasted women entering the workshop is to be considered a downright sabotage!
The piston and sleeve is getting honed together til Friday. Both Carillio conrods will get new steel big end bushings. i will deliver them to get hardened tomorrow. I have machined new valve guides and they are off to my cylinder head wiz tomorrow to get the head refurbished with new intake valves. So the preps are ongoing! I'll be damned if I'm going to let dead materials win over me!

A bummer Mats for sure.
Reminded me of a couple of our motherhood statements, "Its OK to make a mistake, just don't make the same one twice", and "Those who never made a decision, never made a mistake". Of course if you did make a mistake, those phrases somehow got forgotten.
A few years ago my VW based buggy started pumping oil out the rear main, its mid engined. So off with the tray, and out with the engine to access the main, and fit a fresh seal. Back together and its pumping out the other end now. Hmmmm, a wasp nest in the crank breather solved the problem. Took me a few days to sort, but not so many $s.
Looking forward to the rebuild

You are indeed excused, Bushie!
I was thinking of installing a pressure sensor and connect it to my Megasquirt, but also just having a gauge for checking pressure during testing is also a good idea!
Thanks for the entertainment! My wife was even more amused, maybe by the resemblance to some sounds that might be heard in our dog-less home...
This old Homer Simpson clip is my absolute favourite (again):

It has been hot allright. Maybe these pistons are only to be forged ONCE.There are some amazing forces at work
in the RST engine
That piston skirt looks like it has melted?
