oil pump or oil gauge out?
how often does either of these go out on a 95 4runner with a 3.0. im not getting any reading on my oil gauge and im getting a gear grinding noise coming from the engine when i start it up. haven't run it since this started yesterday morning. this is my daily driver and any help would be great.

yea, compression test failed, so i guess that goes to say that the oil pump can go out wenever it wants. it went out pretty early though with just 158,000.

He didn't confirm or deny.. Regardless, a bad ring may or many not be the result of an oil pump failure.. It'd be pretty hard to lose all 6 cylinders and still have the thing turn over. Bend a bunch of valves, maybe...
I'm with you guys, an oil pump failure isn't likely... Maybe a component failed resulting in an internal leak = no pressure.. Could be a bearing, a crack...
Let us know what it is if you tear it down.
