If it was bad enough to have rocks :shocked: in the HPOP inlet screen, then they went thru the LPOP to get there. It may be worn enough that it can't pump any oil. I think that engine is toast. Running it before THOROUGHLY fllushing out everything, including the oil galleries was a bad idea. It probably has grit in the bearings and just about everywhere else. Time for a complete teardown and rebuild (if possible).

I agree, Bill, but I think the OP was using the term "rocks" a little too liberally. He probably meant grit, which would be the remnants of the stuff that got sucked into the rock crusher.... er .... LPOP. There is a path for unfiltered oil to get from the LPOP to the HPOP reservoir.The low pressure oil pump is a gerotor pump a virtual rock crusher. The rocks sure didn't go thru there, ......
I still think the engine is history.
