Denny thanks for the reply....I haven't checked the oil galley plugs because that would involve pulling the damn engine again (correct?) there is the three by the flexplate and some under the timing chain cover (correct?)
I have been able to get them squirting somewhat when adjusting the rockers/ valves but never like i've heard there suppose to. I can't get any answers from my builder anymore- he's actually out of state. What would you do? Could it just be my lifters or maybe a crap oil filter (Fram) that came apart? I really appreciate the replies because I'm about to throw in the towel. I 've never had so much bad luck w/ anything in my life. This engine has been a problem since day 1. Last Feb. 04' is when I got it and I've put less than 200 miles on it because of all the problems I've had.
