It wasn’t a noise specifically. It was just like the engine was working harder than it should have been at the RPM I was running.

That's the part that is concerning, that it was struggling. Damn those Ford's. Hopefully it is something simple and caught in time.

I have had the plug on pump relief pop out on my Windsor motor. If I remember most 385 series oil pumps have a cotter pin that retains it, I just do not remember. Preoiling the motor will tell you a lot. If it started to get sluggish I personally would pull the filter and cut it open. You might even do a bearing check to be safe.

I found the problem. Popped off a valve cover and holy shit.
Prior to this, I took my boat to B&D marine in havasu to have the carb, and timing dialed in. He also suggested to adjust the valves so I said go ahead. Long story short, the poly locks were left finger tight, one of the lifters popped out of its bore, hence no oil pressure. Going to pull the manifold and check the extent of the damage. Doesn’t look bad so far. Hopefully cam is OK and no metal floating around.

The pushrods look unharmed. Gonna pull the intake and check lifters this weekend. I’m hoping it will only cost me new gaskets. 🤞

If there is damage I will be giving him a call. Otherwise, I don’t want them touching my shit anymore.
