Engine Lost Oil Pressure?

[neo]

last time I had ticking it was from 3 bent rods there was no oil light though. I very much doubt that its the cam chain I think its your oil pump.

you play you pay

ok finally saved up a few dollars ready to get this fixed now, pretty sure its the oil pump so can anyone give me some advice on gettin it fixed.

I live north of brizzy but dont mind if I have to send the engine somewhere, have been lookin at sending it to Atomic but I have heard a few negative things about them

any advice would be great

started pullin it apart today, was pissed to find that when I had the engine replaced under warrenty about 18mnths ago some dumbass snapped 1 of the tappet cover bolts and just turned the rest of the bolt upside down to cover the hole bodgy *beep*.

so been reading on this forum and a couple others and now im thinkin if theres no damage I shouldn't have to rebuild the engine and get away with just doin the oil pump

can any one tell me what and where to look for damage, the only concern I have is that the engine is locking up but that only happened after it sat for a bit and all the oil had drained back to the bottom
