Actually this is the third oil pump I have heard of with this problem in the last year. At least two were Melling pumps. You do need to lube the upper part of the pump to ensure lubrication to the shaft but I think the real problem has been insuffent end clearance to the housing as two I have seen had no clearance. Not unlike the slant six pumps coming from Chrysler 10 years ago or so with a high frailer rate. You need to check every part to see that it is in spec.
Thanks John
