## Discrepancy

OIL PUMP WOULD LOSE PRIME AND HAVE NO OIL PRESSURE AFTER START-UP.  OIL PUMP IDLE SHAFT EXTREMELY WORN AND BOTH GEARS WORN.  WORE THE PUMP HOUSING CAUSING AN OIL SHORTAGE TO THE ENGINE WITH BEARING AND CASE DAMAGE.  THE PUMP HOUSING AND SHAFTS WERE TIGHT AND CORRECT PER CONTINENTAL.
