Thanks a lot!!

Was the metal magnetic? Or just Alum? Alum flecks like that are not a big concern on a new overhaul.

That oil pump housing looks pitted and scored in the picture. If that's correct it could sure explain your problem.Hello Glen.
I tested the screen today and the majority parts weren't magnetic. I imagine that its part of oil pump, there is some risks there.
Today im gonna go with my shafts and cases to the measurements shop to see how re my case... Bellow the pics...

I would expect that the Continental table of limits would have detailed information about all of the clearances. I know the Lycoming overhaul manual has numerous oil pump dimensions specified, but I am not familiar with Continental details.Hi Gordon!
Yes, we imagined that so we changed the case but used other that oil pump gears was "bushed" due to clearance...
Can the oil pump do it again???
what is the differences in those 2 cams?who did the work, call them. We dont need to know who did the work but what did they say when you told them theres no oil pressure? Is it actually a 90 hp case? And why ruin a 90hp case to put a 200 cam in it? Which cam 626608 or 643067?
well I am having a little oil pressure issue myself that is heat related, so I have tightened up my baffles and I ordered 2 different springs and took the one out of the engine. The top blue one is continental factory part, the middle blue one is fresno and the bottom is the one I took out of the -8 accessory case. New aluminum accessory case, new oil pump gears...pressure holds 40 until the temps get above 210, then it drops off quick. I will see how the continental works compared to the one I took out. The Fresno one was way less on the spring compressor...View attachment 48408
