Default Lifters

The shop that built my motor is worthless! They replaced my heads I had on there with stock 317s I had to go down on compression... But they didnt put longer pushrods and it sounds like a lifters is trying to go out or something. It just gets worse and worse. I put 7.4 pushrods on and it helped a bit but I think the lifter is already screwed. What do yall think.

I just had a lifter go out. Shitty stuff. It took out my cam aslo. It had a slight tick, a lil louder then valve tick. Then it lost oil pressure. Pulled it apart, chunks of metal everywhere, oil was nasty and coated with metal flakes. If it is a lifter, fix it before it messes up your cam. How oil are the lifters and oil pump
