Maybe a piece of crap had the relief valve stuck open. Good luck.

Dang rodney. Not the time for this mess huh. You did just do the cam swap so maybe it was some junk.

things are tightening like hell for us right now. Ima try to squeek it out so I can still come.

btw on the note of Oil pressure. Mine is like 40 cold or hot at idle but going down the road at say 1700-2000 rpm it isnt but around 50 psi. Should i be scared? Maybe its just my oil thinning since i changed it. IDK. I noticed it but i cant really remember what it was previously. I thought higher though...maybe not

I hope my willingness to share my stupidity will help someone!!! Turns out the oil was just thinned by a little water and assembly lube. Put some fresh 5-30 in there and she is holding 40 at a warm idle and it rises to 6X with more tp input. My knock sensors have went out though. i cut the filter and found no material so maybe I did not ruin anything.
