Default RE: another oil pressure problem

just a stock replacement oil pump, dont know how far it is from the pan though,

I cut open the filter, and there was small pieces of silicone, and tiny silver colored metal particles.

not lots or anything, just a couple flakes in each fold of the filter.

I know I have the wrong size pushrods, I checked today, and they start on the very outer edge of the valve and as the valve opens it just barely stays on the top of the valve.

how much of a difference would a 0.010 inch longer pushrod make?
