Well guy's I have a big problem, I have a 95 chevy with an 03 6.0 LQ4 that has 31K miles on it, I installed a TSP 224R cam, hardened 7.4 pushrod's, double TSP valve spring's, I also installed a Pro Gear timing chain, and a Melling high pressure oil pump. Also I used feeler gauges and centered the oil pump when I installed it. Now for the spec's as is, the engine runs great and has 50 psi oil pressure at idle, and 70-75 at 2K+ rpm's, I never started this engine before I swapped the new parts in so I have no idea if there was a previous problem before I bought it, but the engine looked very clean when I opened it up to install the new part's. The engine might have 3 hour's run time since the first start, almost imeadiatly there was a small amount amount of metal in the oil after the first start, I have changed the oil 3 times trying to flush it out to no avail., when you pull the dipstick out and wipe it off you can see metal on the rag, and I have a temporary manual oil pressure gauge on it right now and now I can see metal in the oil line running to the gauge. So I am figuring that I am going to have to pull it out and either completely go through the motor or toss it and start over with another 6.0. I apprecite any advice you guy's can give me on this. Thank's in advance.
