Fresh engine, wiped cam? Tick? (new pics added)

I called Lunati again, and showed them the video... He said that was NORMAL!
He also said that the cam looked good. WTF?!?!?!?

I'm thinking I am just going to get new lifters, check the preload, throw it back together, and look for the push rods spinning... and see where I sit from there...

Thank You, Good Night!

Like I had mentioned before....in all the engines I have built in the passed I have found lifters to do that quite often when they do not have oil pumped up inside.

most people notice there lifters during a rebuild when they are still freshly pumped with oil and assume that thats how they are all the time.

yes I would also say that is normal BUT I think that your lifters are bad in the fact that they probably no longer are holding pressure inside due to to long of a pushrod beating on them since it was built or for some other reason.

But I think its a good bet to get a new set of lifters and figure out if your pushrods are the correct length to match what work has been done to your engine
