Re: Oil pressure questions and concerns.
I see you made it home ok. No issues with the breathers? You must have been taking it easy leaving here, but I could hear you all the way across town.

Re: Oil pressure questions and concerns.
Ya I took it easy. It's that loud huh? I know it is on the louder side but it doesn't seem to be that loud to me since I am half deaf LOL. I am debating pulling the motor again just so I can measure the clearances. I am pretty sure it is definitely on the looser side.
The cam that was originally in it was 279 @ 50 duration and .692 lift so they had to of planned on spinning it to 7,500 - 8,000 rpm. I am trying to avoid pulling the motor again but if it is what I need to do to make sure it is right then that's what I will have to do.
