Larry Schramm Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Just a couple of random thoughts. Oil pressure? or maybe the wrong push rods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhb1999 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Remove the valve covers and install a set of rocker arm oil deflector clips, and start the engine and see that oil is coming though ALL the rocker arms. If oil is reaching the rockers, the valves may not be adjusted correctly. If not, the lifters could be defective. The valves can be adjusted while running, loosen the rocker nuts one at time until it just starts clattering, then slowly tighten until the clattering stops, then turn one full turn.
