After this problem happened I disassembled the engine for a different problem and there was no oil slinger in front of the gear for the double row timing chain on the crank. Perhaps they had trouble fitting it when they built the engine. I will try to fit one on there when I reassemble it. The timing chain was well oiled when I disassembled it but not enough oil was not making to the fuel pump eccentric.
