Current rebuilt my ls1, using ls6 ported oil pump with 20-50 oil and it has 1800 miles. Did the first oil change at 500 miles and found no metal then another at 1600 miles and found very fine metal on the oil plug (magnetic tip). My oil pressure at idle is 24psi and at wot is 45ish. Motor runs strong with no issues but I'm worried about the oil pressure. Also there's this ticking coming from the passenger side valve cover but goes away once it starts to warm up. He rockers are tight and no sign of it hitting the valve cover.

Pretty low oil pressure for a fresh motor. the glitter is coming from somewhere.

I think the oil pressure is somewhat dependent on the tolerances used in the rebuild.

The motor isn't making any knocking noises and I figured it would have blown by now
