Valve train 'a knocken,oil pressure blues
Any body else have problems with valve train "clater"?
Motor has 10,000 miles.Just replaced oil pump w/H-V Melling,and same pressure @ 800/850 RPMS!  If I bring it up to 950/1000RPMs shows @ first line on stock gauge,WTF!  When I built motor plastic gauge @ .002/.003 Plus now I'm having problems with valve train noise,(shim'd up rockers right out of book,w/lifter dry,set valve clearance @ valve tip to .140)Just had to reinstall cam 'cause smoked a lobe and lifter(comp replaced free 'cause I just installed)Could cam lobe/lifter failure be related? I'm not dum,of course it could be related,But has any one else had problems with this?What about Comp Cams?Some people told me(after Ibought cam,of course!)to stay a way from Comp Cams???
