Since I unecessarily pulled my timing chain cover, I have to drop my oil pan with it's one piece gasket. I'll clean it out, clean out the oil pump screen, change the oil very soon, and hope for the best. I'm really not ready to buy that World Products aluminum block just yet.

I bought the World Products aluminum block and had trouble with the cam bearings they installed and the deck surface. Had to have a machine shop shave the deck and re-install cam bearings.
Check out the condition of the bearings... looks like the guy use 80 grit.
Sorry to hear about the problems Bee Jay. I just pulled the distributor on mine to inspect the gear last weekend. It is a billet cam and a Crane hardened and melonized gear on the distributor. Looked perfect with almost 2 years use on it. I run a high volume oil pump but with stock pressure. I don't like high pressure, it's where the problems come from.
