Happened to me last year. Saw really low oil pressure, put it in the box and went home. Pulled the engine apart and blackened the crank, had some not great looking bearings but saved the engine. New crank, oil pump and bearings and back to racing. Just a bracket engine but the only one I had at the moment.
