I rebuilt my 5.3 ls engine over the winter and then when it was finished.I drove it around for about a week, the oil pressure started dropping slowly.Then one day while driving oil pressure went to 0 ,so I decided to pull the front of the motor and check out the pump.when i did i noticed that the cam shaft thrust plate was cracked when I pulled the timing chain off i found that the gear wore a groove into the thrust plate and cracked it.what would cause it to do that? help
