So, on the way home my oil pressure light came off and on, stayed more off than on. But in the process of getting her back to the garage she started to make this horrible grinding/knocking noise. I havent taken anything apart, Im waiting for the engine to cool down, but hope someone here may be able reassure me that its the oil pump, and nothing else.....

Well, just to make sure that everything else was good I removed the oil pan (flex pipe, front motor mount, stiffener plate, crossmember bits, etc) in about 45 min...getting pretty good at this process. Took a look up inside and everything was good, no metal shavings/chunks in bottom of oil pan, nothing stuck in the pick up. Plenty of free movement with the rotors, no resistance at all. Removed the oil pump rotors and took measurements. .15 for the rotor tip, and .12 for the rotor body. Again well within in specs, .20 being the maximum for both. So all that being good, Im wondering how the pulley destroyed its self....any thoughts?
