If you are running a billet roller cam, it is not likely to damage the lobes. the push rod will must likely bent. Why are you running 20-50 on a new rebuild motor?. this motor should see a 10-30 weight oil, with a new revise timing/oil pump with larger gear`s.

I am currently working and gerotor type oil pump like you will find in the 3800 buick timing cover.
the buick 3.8 and 3800 crankshaft feature the same crank snout. even the crank gear which drive the camshaft and the gerotor oil pump gear from the 3800 crank will fit the 3.8 crank snout.
