According to the shop, my problem is weak lifter springs.

I have the PO301. This morning I made my appointment to get the cam and lifters looked at and replaced. I got 2 quotes, one for $5000 and one for $3000. I've done all the other part swaps as well as checking the injector.

I can get the 10-48 or the 20-500 right away from Oreilys but I want to know which one should I get out of those two lol .... or if I should just wait
check the oil filter thread. Someone was selling his with free shipping but had to buy all of his(not sure how many he has lol). Also has info on those two as well I believe. (Page 114)

The 20-500 filter also fits the 1500s like the 20-820 ?

I can't find the 20-820s around here right now or on amazon only the 10-48s ...
yes the 20-500 is another option.
