OK, thanks all. I've got a new aluminum gear ready to put on as soon as I can get the old gear off. Sounds like I need to pull the pan and take a look at the pump, just to be sure. The car was sitting in the driveway, running fine until I heard a 'crack' sound and the engine died, with an unusual sound. I think the odd sound was the spinning of three compression-less cylinders, as only cylinder 1 has both valves seated now.
