We have the same style pump in the older Jags. Please inspect and check the outer part of the rotating pump assy for cracks at the top of the web.
If even a small part of debris gets there it will crack the ring and you will lose oil pressure there. Might even get some crack checking solution and make sure, or heat the puppy up in an oven and check then. I have seen pumps where a cotter pin (they use them on the rod nuts) has gone through the pump assy and cracked it but you cannot tell unless inspected closely.
