Wow, the housing isn't even scored? Scoring can cause a pressure drop also even if it's not gouged or anything.
Also, what is that Risoline oil additive? It looks like a zinc additive but I can't find anywhere that tells you online. I wouldn't use it any more. Rotella already has the right amount of zinc in it. Too much zinc will cause wear just as quickly as not enough.

Inside cover looks good

I see what you're talking about, but
the picture is deceptive.
Must be the lighting.

No more ticking!
I was confident the broken oil pump gear was the tick, and so far, no ticking.
I have an unrelated miss, but I did let it run long enough for the thermostat to open and fill the coolant.
It still doesn't run hot either.
Sucess! I hope it continues, lol.

The weird part is that the tick goes away above idle. Obviously not rod knock!
Could it be a valve or valve guide problem??
Oil pump chain slapping a cog??
What the heck makes the noise go away above 1,500 RPMs?
