Glad to see you got it back up and running.

I didn't see anywhere in your thread about cleaning out the oil galleries. I hope you did the work of cleaning them. If not, there is surely some metal filings from the cam/lifter/oil pump failure still in your engine, just waiting to do some more damage.

cam feels great, pulls hard. sonds good too. ill get a good idle clip in the morning. me and jake were just doing a lil tuning. 30 mph, tires blow off super smooth. 45 mph tires break loose again. so 50 mph there is a lil spinning, but pulls hard. i forgot to mentioned that i used several cans of carb cleaner while i had everything torn apart. i cleaned up as best i could. i changed oil once already too, so i have another new filter on as well.
