Iv'e only driven the car a few times after the last trip to New England Dragway. Noticed my idle oil Pressure was lower than previous. thought it was related to Idle being too low in gear.
When you Rev it up the oil pressure normalizes. But in Gear I thought was too low. So upon further inspection today with more tuning, Ed noticed the Roller Tip on one Rocker Arm Cylinder 2 was eating away into the tip of the Rocker Arm.

Now, there was metal in the topside of the passenger side bank so I pulled the Drivers side cover off and much less metal on this side but still had some in there.

If the oil pump check ball is lodged open with debris shouldn't the oil filter catch all this metal?Why am I seeing metal particles on the opposite bank.
Is there something else now wrong?
