Already got them.
One closest alternator is my drain back.
I'll take it as no one has any idea about the oil pump?
Your pump ate metal, something not right on your build.

So back on topic, took the pump off and it looks like this
The gears are all pitted aswell so that's why my oil pressure is low.
Now to find the cause of the pump failure. Either it's sucked up crap from the sump, ran dry from cornering or the cranks bent right? Can't think of anything to cause this.
I've got a weld in baffle in my sump and never had this issues before so I think running dry is unlikely. Although from research it appeared @tama666 had this issue with weld in baffles and changed the pump and sump and ran perfect since.
Personally I think cranks to blame but can't be sure yet.

It's clearly picked up some ****, the fact you found a piece of piston in the pick up tube would be enough to confirm it I'd say.
Turning it over with out any lube would not of done that sort of damage, the most damage that would do is some scores/scratches,
something's been mashed around that pump
You have to sort the clearance between the pick up pipe and the sump also!

Use the correct pickup for the pan that you are using.
I've seen this issue kill many an rally engine!I am.
