I have another set of new "rebuilt" lifters in the car and all the associated gaskets so a WalMart parking lot somewhere could be in the program. We are also planning on dragging our feet a little on the way home and partaking in the Total Eclipse of the Sun on Monday in Tennessee.Last edited by pintoboy77; August 12, 2017, 05:06 PM.Greg & Mendy Dayton, Ohio 2007LH 2008LH 2010LH 2011LH 2012 1st 2 stops 2013LH 2015 1st 2 stops2016LH 2017 first and last stops . 2018 LH ("It's better to be dead and cool than alive and uncool!!

I'm a little concerned with the '69.....last oil change showed very small metal "shards" (tiny) on the magnetic oil pan plug, and some very tiny (very tiny) metal bits on the inside of the oil filter element......not sure if I should drive it or not

If she is questionable there no sense hurting her more especially if you have something else to drive.Greg & Mendy Dayton, Ohio 2007LH 2008LH 2010LH 2011LH 2012 1st 2 stops 2013LH 2015 1st 2 stops2016LH 2017 first and last stops . 2018 LH ("It's better to be dead and cool than alive and uncool!!

So we should come up with a game plan to meet somewhere for lunch on Friday. Maybe an out of the way place so won't be really busy. Remember the place near 8 mile, don't remember the name of it but we have had breakfast there once and also lunch. Is a place we might all be able to get into without a long wait. Or if anyone else has ideas please share.Donna

This is the place that we've eaten a couple of times already. Once for breakfast and once for lunch. It was pretty good.

Will be in town Th-Sat. Will be racing at Milan on TH with Angry Grandpa, stationed in Pontiac at MSHS's lot (Woodward and Orchard Pike) and will be roaming at some point during the cruise live.Editor-at-Large at...well, here, of course!

so where they like very fine metal wiskers? The fact that they are attached to a magnetic drain plug narrows down the type of part that might be failing. Most likely some kind of valve train part giving up. If you were running a no-bypass style oil filter (Jomar or others) it wouldn't concern me as much but if you are losing a cam or other critical valve train part and circulating metal contamination in the oil, it will surely hurt lots of parts before it dies.
very fine whiskers (a few), and some very tiny metal "dots" in the oil filter element.....metal to be sure......saw it after an oil change after the Power Tour.......running a howard's hydraulic roller cam....oil pressure is fine and steady.....had an oil analysis done, company said "oil is fine" (?).....using Brad Penn 20w-50 oil with a high zinc content....also using a K&N filter

If that's all it is and it's not making any abnormal noises I'd say run it. Check it on the next oil change if your oil analysis came back good you don't have a problem. We use them and they tell us everything our motors are doing wrong or what is going wrong.Greg & Mendy Dayton, Ohio 2007LH 2008LH 2010LH 2011LH 2012 1st 2 stops 2013LH 2015 1st 2 stops2016LH 2017 first and last stops . 2018 LH ("It's better to be dead and cool than alive and uncool!!
