Lifter problems????

OK, well I can look into that. The rods aren't blue in person. I think my close up camera flash was doing that..it's not the greatest toy.

It'll be a while before I get that far..busy weekend ahead of me. We checked the flow when it was assembled...priming it with the valve covers off...yes, I made a mess. Unless something shifted or the pump is having issues I hope this will not have changed.

I did get a chance to cut my old oil filter apart (changed it last week). VERY clean looking inside, other than the old oil...LOL. No evidence of any filings, shavings, chips, etc). I also checked the oil that I drained out of it before cutting it open..it was "clean" also.

I'm going to get an adustable test pushrod to setup and check the length needed. Then I'll know for sure what to order.
