The pilot noted a loss of oil pressure during flight followed by a loss of power. He executed a forced landing, and on final approach the airplane struck a guy wire. The engine oil pump was examined, and the oil pump driven gear had failed due to lack of lubrication. The #3 connecting rod and the camshaft then failed. The engine had been overhauled in the field previously, and a service instruction to increase lubrication of the oil pump driven gear had not been accomplished.
Probable Cause: inadequate overhaul procedures by maintenance personnel resulting in an oil pump failure and subsequent loss of engine power.
