340 misifre

Hey guys thanks for the replies.

Turns out I have a collapsed lifter. I thought it was just the unadjustable rockers clacking together because I have no spacers.

I called up Hughes Engines and they said to pull a lifter and check it out for dirt. I pulled the lifter due to the spongy pushrod and took it apart.

When I took it apart It had small shavings or hard deposit like particles in it. Supposedly the lifter is much like a check valve and I geuss it got cloggged and would not let the oil in to prime it.

I bought a new set even though I can clean them out and reuse them but I figured I would keep a secondary set.

Now I need to reassemble and run her!

Thankls again.

Rob.
