hmmm.....well, maybe the oil pump did fail, but, I would guess it just fell apart rather than clogged up with sludge.
Excessive sludge buildup pretty much went away with the wide spread use of detergent oil. Back in the mid 50s, the worst thing you could do to an engine was to start using detergent oil after it had run on non-detergent oil all it's life.
Oh well, let's hope they get your car's engine fixed up soon.
