That really blows, especially since you were following the shop manual. It's great for some things, but I find (at least for '08) that it is full of contradictions, and missing a lot of key info.
Hope the oil pump is the full extent of the damage, and good luck with the new cam!

When you install the new oil pump, make sure you put a NEW o-ring with some grease where the oil pump inserts into the cam chest. IMPORTANT.
Make sure you do the engine rotation and 4-bolt torque sequence when tightening the 4 oil pump bolts.
If you get a chance, do a pinion runout check. You should have the time, and you really DO want to know your pinion runout.
When you get the bike back together, buy some cheap 50 weight oil and a cheap black oil filter, or a crappy FRAM oil filter.
Fill bike with the cheap oil, new filter, start bike and immediately shut it off. Start again, shut off.
Do this twice to get oil flowing without overly running the engine.
On the third start, run it for a few minutes, listen to it. Make adjustments as needed.
Get it really hot.
Drain oil and remove filter.
Install NEW oil and NEW filter, good oil.
You should be good after that.

Always should check runout...this has become more of an issue for the 06 & up dynas, but has been a potential issue in the past aswell! Must check runout if going to gear driven cams...the chain is more forgiving to more runout, gears are not!
Lama has put out some really good info on this thread...all spot on! This is why I dig these forums...good information for the most part! Although I'm a big fan of adjustable pushrods, prolly cause I change sh** so much! LOL!
