After pulling it apart, my spoil spline gear and oil pump was still good. It appears that my engine lost oil pressure somehow and ate the bearings the thrust face on the crank is worn down and will need repair.

I purchased mine march 2017 and it didn't come with alignment procedures, only instructions for machine shop on how to install the gear on the crank. =(

I have installed a Spool spline drive kit on my RB30/26 build. I wasn't aware of the alignment problems associated with this setup and installed it without aligning it. After about 1000 miles, my oil pump lost pressure about 1 mile from my house. I got no pressure under 3k rpm but slight pressure above it. But in doing so, I'm afraid the damage has already been done because I have a slight knock when I rev the engine past 2500 rpm. I plan on pulling the engine back out and inspecting to see what went wrong. Unfortunately, I stumbled upon this post too late.
