I'm not following the "increased oil pressure from boost" bit. The compression test is a good idea, as is an oil analysis. Other than that, you should be good to go.

Good point... that doesn't make any sense.

I don't quite get it either. That's why I wanted to ask. What I was being told was that boost will increase pressure in the block. That pressure could weaken the timing cover gaskets....iono

Never heard anything like that. The oil pump is the same, so I'm not sure how oil pressure could increase. Google Blackstone Labs. They'll tell you about how much wear is going on inside your motor.
