What do you guys think about this?

I am using 20/50 oil. The car sat all winter and never made this noise before. Perhaps the oil is too thick.

I'm using heavy oil becuase I only run the car in warm weather, 70 degrees and up.

The oil pressure guage is coming right up. No problem there.

The filter is brand, spankin new, and yes I filled it before I put it on. It's a Mobil 1 filter. I'm leaving it on and not draining it.

I think I'm going to drain the 20 50, I have 2 quarts of MMO, I'll throw one in and replace the 20-50 with 10-30.

It's a dam shame, that mobil 1 crap was $7 a quart.

Here's something.

I drove to the exhaust shop, about 20 miles round trip, pulled in the garage, drained the oil, let the pan drip over night. That was the first oil change after the build, I had 10-30 dyno oil

The next day, I filled it with the 20-50. Left it like that for 2 weeks while I swapped the injectors.

Then I started it and it made that noise.

Anything there that I did wrong?
