And Gord, I hope you don't feel like I have attempted to modify your vacataion.no worries Nick If I could get done sooner it wouldnt be an issue but still have to do a cut of hay the first 2 weeks in Aug.

installed the new proper lifters with lots of cam lube and assembly lube. replaced the bad rocker arms and put all stock length pushrods in. primed it with a drill good oil flow from the end of each push rod. reinstalled intake and everything else. then fired it up started right away ran nice and quiet but no oil pressure. pulled the dist an no pump driveshaft present. fished around in there with a magnet and pulled out the shaft I guess when i pulled the drill out the shaft stuck to the priming tool and pulled out of the pump and fell in. FML anyway we are going to get a new shaft and keeper and see if we can make up something to hold the keepr while we push the shaft in instead of pulling the motor yet again. 
were getting closer I think just glad we found out theoriginal lifters were too short as that answers so many questions

you were right Dave looks like the cam kit I bought had the wrong lifters in it and thus the wrong ones in the motor from day 1

so i go to my local speed shop to order new lifters and from a sealed box comes lifters the same diameter but about 3-16ths inch longer. we opened 2 other sets ,same result so I went to another parts store ,they had a set ,opened the sealed box and same thing again.So now it looks like Ive had the wrong lifters all along which could expliain all the lifter noise we could not get rid of and the failed lifter and pushrod problems. Now Im faced with putting new lifters on a broke in cam wtf.

from the first time we ran the motor it had a lifter noise. now I wonder if it was a bad lifter from the start. I am replacing the bad lifter and 4 rocker arm assemblies as they have been hot. the bottompart of the lifter came out easily and from the looks of the bottom of it the,cam is ok .Im going to put in the new lifter,new rocker arm assemblies ,tock pushrods,then prime it and if the oil flow is good run it . any advice am,I crazy to do it this way?

I believe it originated in Santa Maria but c'mon . . . doesn't everyone deserve a smoked tri-tip a few times a year?it was me ,just had a steeer killed and asked my butcher about it. he had heard of it and said not in Canada ,it is popular in California but he could cut me 2 out of this animal, but you dont get much out of a carcass. I meant no offence by the California remark
Sorry for the thread jack but it seems like a good time to ask.
