Doing things once is great.. if you can pull it off


So... we've been thinking on this all day... and one other thing that we changed when putting it back together was a higher volume oil pump. We put a Melling 10555 pump in place of the previous OEM replacement M-55 pump. This constitutes a 25% increase over OEM.

Could be the culprit, or at least contributory?
