Oil pressure is great!! No idea, but i still have the filter so, i might go ahead and cut it apart. The oil pan bolt had no more attached to the magnet than anyother time. I even had another 1/2 quart of oil that i poured through after the oil was drained. Just alot of information to absorb and wonder whats the effects on new pushrods, and new heads with new parts??

When did you last change the oil??? Before, during or after the head/PR change?

7-8K!!! I have never gone that long between oil changes. That is like 10 months for me. I never go over 3K but that is just me. I use the German Castrol. What filter are you using?
