I checked out the rockers, one (the dirtier plug) was pretty loose. I tightened it up pretty good, but it seemed like it was bottoming out before I could get it as tight as it's supposed to be. Maybe a lifter broke, it felt like the small cup in the lifter was still there facing up, but who knows. It ran a little better when I started it up, but the oil pressure still dropped after it warmd up and it felt really slow still. I'm pretty much stuck now, the only thing left to do would be tear apart the motor, but I don't have anywhere to do that so basically my life's over. Any other ideas would be appreciated, the only other thing I can think of with the oil pressure would be the pump is messed up, it's a hi-volume (either speed-pro or melling) and I used a new shaft with a metal sleeve. This sucks really bad.
