I rebuilt my 7 bolt and finally got it put back in ..Changed oil after several heat cycles just to be safe.Motor gets ran at between 6000-7200 rpms for about 15 minutes during a normal race..Lost oil pressure second night out with this motor...Tore motor down and oil pan was full of gold color shavings which are the mains.. Looked at oil filter and found out that the metal lining on the inside was all sucked in like the inside of the filter was crushed (checked filter before install )... I have ran these motor stock for awhile under these conditions and everything goes great.. I run 10/30 oil in it and reads 60 psi at start up and I know 100 at 3grand but not quite sure about when it is warm.. Can I be getting too much oil pressure and oil filter cannot keep up ??? which way does the oil flow through the filter from the main hole or into that hole...Any answers would be of great help..

Balance shafts were removed and bearings installed backwards to block oil holes
New oil pump was installed pretty much everything stock components
