If anything gets caught in the oil pump it will shear the pin (note: this is not theoretical, this has happened on numerous occaisions). Basically anything that can cause an increase in force necessary to drive the pump can cause it. No downside to double pinning. Its also recommended you get a high strength drive for the pump (goes between dist and pump).
