    Broken intermediate shaft pulley

    I cannot find a single instance of this happening to anyone else online. Which makes me think think theres some funky things going on inside.
    Relavent specs:
    Fresh rebuild
    M50b28 crank
    Je pistons
    325i rods
    Replaced the intermediate shaft bearings - spun freely but no excessive play.
    Pulley is the sintered version
    I havent pulled it apart yet but looking for thoughts. Has anyone seen this happen before? The only thing I can think of is that the pump locked up. I had a good 40 psi at idle.

    Does the shaft pulley turn by hand?

      Maybe bolt came loose (insufficient preload or it wasn't seated correctly) and rattled around pounding the pin and bolt. I have seen the pins broken off before.
