no more split oil filters!fixed it.
So the old oil pump did have a sticky pressure relief valve, thus the high pressure and filters splitting -- as posted awhile back.
The oil pan had some thin, soft metal pieces in it, that might have come from the dip stick area (the previous owner had haywired something up to fix a broken dip stick 'sheath/slot'. It looks like the metal on the sides of bearings -- no way, or I'd would be moving.
Putting a new oil pump in, IS a chore on a hoist. I can't imagine doing it on the ground as some have posted. It took me 20 mins of neck wrenching, dripping oil in my face, scrapping, to clean off the old gasket. And getting the rod up into the distributor--even on the hoist, with a buddy's extra pair of hands to help -- it was a killer.
I guess in and of itself it's no big deal. It's after neck wrenching for an hour first, getting the engine up and oil pan off.
Oh man it was nice to see the oil pressure go up and then hold at 10 o'clock , instead of 12!

If it is silver, it probably isn't bearing material. I would only be worried if it was brass.

Do it right the first time and leave it alone right?? Well sometimes it feel like the first time is never going to end. LOL
