<html>rick change your oil,some of that junk may have made it in to your engine, i had a similar problem on the race car,our gasket and filter were new. the gasket got sucked in and parts of it plugged a few of the oil ports in the block. mine was a expensive goof up because we were in a hurry and didn't notice the gasket wasn't where it was suppost to be when we put the filter on. </html>
