I have called Ray Barton. I don't recall saying anything bad about him in my posts. You must be referring to other peoples posts.

I had forgotten about the gear not being on the distributor. Too many years working on Chevy's. I would not expect that gear to be made of bronze since this is not a roller cam, but I could be wrong. If all that metal in the filter came from that gear then there can't be much gear left. There is an awful lot of metal in the filter.

Also there was no difference in oil pressure when I changed oil filters. K&N makes a very good filter, however I could see one plug up quicker than other brands since they trap smaller particles than other brands.

I agree with everything you said. Sorry about your trouble.
