How many have you seen go out that are directly attributed to just the oil pump?
There have been 2 known DCR oil pump failures, even though they claim a 100% success rate. One of the guys' who's pump failed is a mod in the Rage-Tek forums. They pulled his motor apart and found the DCR pump had failed, and he replaced it with a Mikronite processed Rage-Tek pump. Apparently visual inspections of DCR's gears compared to the Micronite processed gears is like day and night, and Mikronite is superior.
Another guy's failure was attributed to a lot of KR, so that's understandable. I heard this from Aaron. No pump will stay alive if you run the car hard for a long time on a ton of knock. Just ain't gonna' happen.
Now the DCR pump is a fantastic pump and is definitely much stronger than the OEM pump, but Darrell's comments that it has a 100% success rate are simply untrue.
