Mullinax, I think your are a great guy, I respect you, and I take your suggestions seriously. I have watched you go through issues with your old engine and then go about putting another engine together so I know you have knowledge and experience. I apologize if I made you feel like I was ignoring you.

Don't apologize .. I thought I might have made you mad at onetime or something.

Ok if you don't have rocker to retainer contact, the rocker geometry looks fine, then after seeing that picture I for some reason thinking the lifters aren't getting pumped up. There has to be some "slack" somewhere to have the metal to metal "tap" you are hearing.

Dang that's a nice build you got so it's got to be something simple.
