Thx Rick , When I had the lash set on my rockers / cam there was a few little pieces of shiny metal flakes around the rockers,, figured it could of been from an over haul the engine had ,so I changed the oil cut in to the filter and found very few metal flakes.. did not see any in the oil ..I have run some 3 thousand miles on it since buying it ,, the owner of the truck before me had the truck over hauled some 25 thousand miles ago .. ..I called the place in Portland Oregon and the owner of the place verified the over haul ,Yes ,,I am going to look for a place here that does the oil check ( you know of any to recomemd ?)and then go from there to checking the guage to the pump .. I guess in that order.
