'68 318 to carbed Magnum 5.2: Check my checklist

That's pretty cool, I didn't know that much about that era engine. I'm wondering if putting a matched set of 16 lifters in would help the oiling trouble you're having. Differently sized oil holes maybe? If it gushes oil in one place, it may not build pressure in others. I'm kind of grasping at stuff here, but I think if it were mine I would try all 16 lifters soaked in oil, install pushrods and rockers, and prime and see what happens.

There's very little organized information about the roller cam LA's online. Diplomat and Ramcharger fans seem to know the most about them, since they're the two most collectible Mopar vehicles that often have the roller LA's in them.

I doubt if a matched set would help, but Sireland67 just offered me the cleaned and tested lifters out of one of his blocks, and I took him up on it.

It'll be good to get away from this thing until next Sunday ;)
