Reply to "Dreaded distributor Pin"

I don't know if the shaft is uprated and it looks like it was double pinned, the dizzy did have a small amount of play in the shaft(up and down) which it should have, 75-80psi oil pressure cold and around 35 hot at idle seems very normal for a HV pump and the oil was up to temp when this occurred but I would rather the pin broke and the motor stop running because no damage seems to have occurred, I would like to think because of the amount of variables in the pin breaking I will not find out exactly what the cause was (without stripping the engine down) so I will start with the obvious, change pin to a double, even though the engine has very few miles it still is a 14 year old rebuild and that dizzy pin must have been heated and cooled many many times, ordinary castrol oil as I don't know what type the motor was filled with (I do know it was golden and very clean), no debris in the sump, no visual damage to the oil pump pick, I will also fit a magnatised oil sump plug in the hope if anything metal ends up in the sump it will stick to it.
But the truth of the matter is I adore driving my Pantera and no matter what what the reason I will continue driving it.
