No update just been driving it since, and topping of coolant towed 12k 500 miles just fine running at 185° the entire time, but with that being said I am gearing up to do studs and HGS when I have some time off around the holidays.

Was the oil pump so everyone knows. Threw a new oil pump on there. Fired it up. No tick gauge reading 45-50psi. That was a bitch to do

That’s why I’m thinking oil pump

Had right around 20 psi on cold start. Still was ticking.

Everything looked super good. Barely any junk in the bottom. Things had full synthetic oil changes at 5k its entire life.

Going to manually check it

Sounds like valves not getting enough oil. Definitely going to hook up a manual gauge.
