Guys are you not reading what Mike writes? He found roller pins in the oil pump. That means potentially pins everywhere. Maybe from a failed earlier rocker, maybe from a current. That can't be flushed. Yuo can change pump and replace the rocker and hope to be lucky, but don't drive far from home, another pin will mess up that engine one day. The only safe way is to take it out, take it apart, have it professionally flushed, assemble and install. Won't be expensive,but a lot of work
Sorry Mike. Sleep on it
