Changed the oil last night. Drove home from.shop fine. Started today with a bird chirp that sounded like a dreaded spun bearing. As you can imagine I was about sick as my monster stage 2 is coming in today. Ran to store and put some MMO in it praying it was a stuck lifter wheel haha. Squeel remained. Got angry. Clutched dumped it. Cloud of smoke and no more chirping. Went to the house as I realized in my laziness of not wanting to clean a funnel I spilt some oil down the fill tube. Must have had oil on the belt somewhere. Hosed car down with some belt dressing and still no squeeking. Oil gauge is a bit twitchy when hot with 5w30 synthetic and k and n filter. Idles around 35 psi. Before I thought it idles more around 40 and not twitchy. But had Mobil 1 filter. Which I attribute the slight oil psi drop to. So that's what I did with my 2000 ws6 and about had a heart​attack. Cammed ws6 lives on(hopefully)

It was a set of 243 that I sent in for the stage 2 port job with the larger valves, they also installed a set of BTR .660 dual platinum springs I sent along with the heads. Going in with these heads is a 230/234 .630/.612 112+2 cam specced by Martin and some Johnson 2110R lifters. They are replacing stock 853 heads and the GMPP HOTcam.
