It's ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Initial autopsy results: Incorrect valvetrain geometry. The pushrods are too short causing the lifters not to pump up, along with the fact that the roller rockers are riding towards the outer edge of the valve stem. Looks like I'm shimming the rocker shafts up and buying ANOTHER set of pushrods.... %$#$ !
And as for the oil leak I had a bad tube of RTV that never set up. When we dis-assembled it last night the sealant was STILL gooey.... double $%$# !
Me & Tom had it torn down in less than a 1/2 hour... then we spent the rest of the night digging through his garage looking for shims & pushrods, which naturally ran off into that mysterious black hole that hides in everyone's garage. We never found them. TRIPLE %$#@ !
The fun never stops....
