Message:
tonight when I was changeing my oil in my pickup, a small piece of foil may have fallen into the heads off of the 5 qt oil jug. i ran the truck 5 miles at highway speed. oil pressure was normal. i looked insided the 5qt jug to see if it was there, no luck!. I know I should have pealed the foil all the way off, but i didn't i just pressed it in and used a funnel.

Take your valve cover off on that side. I am beting that it is still in the head!! The oil return holes are not that big. If DC heads are anything like Import heads their is more then one drain point for the head so a slight obstruction to one drain point will not kill the engine. If the foil is small enough to get lodged deeper in the oil galley you could have a problem. If it makes it to the pan the pickup screen should stop it from reentering the engine.
