If you were taking most of the recommendations offered then it didn't come across well; You didn't appear to be listening, just dismissing or ignoring suggestions. <snip>
But do try not to take it too personally, I'm just a major dick sometimes... and sometimes I'm a colossal asshole (I answer to either). There's no need for you to leave, just maybe accept the possibility that there might be some old wisdom here that's worth listening to with a more welcoming attitude... Much of it's worked well for over 20 years with these engines.
EDIT: I still probably sounded like a dick there ^^^... not entirely the idea. Also, when you have it apart this time, don't forget to flush the oil cooler circuit... You said you didn't after the blockage incident.
