Generally oil pumps stop working after the clearance between the lobes of the "sprocket" and the out case get too wide. they should only be a few thousandths of an inch. Any more and the pump can't compress the oil and pump it. Easy check would be to throw an oil pressure gauge on and see what the pressure is. Should be somewhere around 63 psi at higher engine speeds.
