What else could break?
I was changing my oil Monday morning. Putting in Mobil one for the first time in the new motor. And this little wire clip comes out with the drain plug. WTF?

I spent the whole day thinking, "what the hell coul it be?". About the time I figured it out when I was driving home from work, I watched my fuel pressure slowly drop to zero sitting at a light. I had noticed a drop in fuel pressure at WOT Saturday. Damn Walbro 255 went out. Once I pushed it to a parking lot I remembered that the 190LPH bosster pump from the procharger kit was still mounted on the frame rail. I hooked the lines back up and robbed a fuse out of the stereo to supply power to the booster pump. I was up and running again. This time with no loss of pressure at WOT.
Oh yeah so this is what I think the clip is. What do you think?

Anyway I'm gonna start pulling rocker arms in hopes I can look down and find the broken lifter. If not I'll have to start pulling heads till I find it.
