Ironhead oil pump rebuild

I just finished up putting a new top end on a buddys ironhead. Fired the bike up, sounded great but had no oil returning to the tank, Uh-oh. Shut'er Down!  Pulled the oil pump apart to reveal a sheared pin on the return gear. Could explain why the motor blew in the first place, the fun of buying "ran when parked" bikes. I rebuilt the pump and installed new pins, shes pumpin good and returning to the oil bag like it should. Time to ride.
