I dont think there is to much damage cause he was driving at low rpm and the engine isent "dry" from oil on the cams or anything, but he couldent have heard anything because it is really noise from the exhaust and gearbox

Sad to hear that.

Makes you wonder if you actually dare to buy a new oil pump these days?
