The point i am trying to make is that this would be a easy case for GM because the OP has committed a federal crime.
guys please just google what i am saying, its really not a hard concept to understand. If i was a lawyer it would be so easy to tell the court the OP has changed a finely tuned emission control device.

We understand your point.
The judge could fine the dude on a completely different citation, having absolutely nothing to do with the accused oil pump failure .
So you are saying, by committing a federal crime, due to tampering with emissions control device,
this thus renders your entire powertrain warranty void?
This includes: Alternator, Oil pump, all actuators and electrical components internal to the engine (e.g., Active Fuel Management valve, lifter and oil manifold) cylinder head, block, timing gears, timing chain, timing cover, oil pump/oil pump housing, OHC carriers, valve covers, oil pan, seals, gaskets, manifolds, flywheel, water pump, harmonic balancer, engine mount, turbocharger, and superchargers....transmission, transaxle, rear diff, etc?
If that is the case(which I doubt), then it's time for the manufacturers to re-write the rule book, and contract in a clean one liner, and end this once and for all. That would be a game changer for sure.
Accusing the defendant with tampering with the emissions device, and breaking the law, and accusing the accused with hiding their head in the sand on faulty relief valves in the oil pump, causing catastrophic engine failure, may very well be two entirely different cases, as far as a judge may be concerned, that is our point here, well at least mine.
