After going back through all the changes in my head since I last drove the
car. I may have over torqued the oil pump cover since it is in inch pounds
unlike just about any other bolt. I had one remaining leak that I was
trying to address where one screw is leaking on the cover. I am trying my
best to not have any leaks and since I am guessing at the torque in inch
pounds I may have tightened it to much. I am draining the oil and will
remove the oil pump cover check to make sure it is not damaged as well as
the oil pump gears and distributor gear. I had a high power microwave
magnet on the bottom of the pan near the oil plug. I will check the oil for
any metal fragments and also run a wire across the bottom of the pan with a
magnet to make sure nothing remains there. I am also removing the valve
covers to check for any issues there.
Thanks for all the suggestions. I will update you on my progress or issues
found.
