Would a weak oil pump cause the Cylinder #2 Exhaust lifter to clack? I ask because I recently collapsed that lifter due to overtightening. I overtightened it because it would make a very audible clack, I would check the preload, and it would be low. So I'd tighten it a half turn, and so on...

I recently installed a set of Comp Cams roller rocker arms. I thought clearance would be an issue, so I doubled up the gaskets, and gently tapped the baffles outward. Due to a moving situation, I had to drive the car about 300 miles. The extra clearance wasn't enough, and now my valve...

A while ago, I corrected the preload on one of my lifters to remove a slapping sound coming from cylinder 6. Having had great success, I decided it might be good to correct the preload on all of the cylinders, since the valvetrain seemed a little noisy overall... Not my best idea...
