    Okay going to re do it now, I just removed the fuel pump before I did the valves and a small circular plastic piece that looked to be broke in half fell out any ideas what it might be

    Okay, will go over it again tonight. And just for learning purposes if the pushrod wasn’t spinning that would mean the lifter is collapsed?

    I rotated about 30 degrees at a time tightening each rocker until resistance and continued until they all had no play and then did 3/4 of a turn in on each. Probably did two full rotations to ensure they all had a bit of resistance when rolling the pushrod in my fingers.

    I was adjusting by tightening until there was a a bit of drag when spinning the pushrod and then 3/4 of a turn in after that, if I remove a rocker and pushrod I should be able to see the top of the lifter right?

    I bought an additive for the lifter noise with a detergent and also did about 400ml of atf, so basically a quart or trans oil. But no luck with that yet

    I tried adjusting it while running but made the noise the entire time, I just hear it from that rocker but I can’t be sure it’s that, I took the rocker off and everything looked good too

    It sounds to me like #7 and I’m pretty confident it’s coming from there after hearing it run with it off but will check the little things before ripping it apart

    Yes really hoping that doesn’t happen, it’s hydraulic but have been using Lucas conventional 10w30

    Okay, I didn’t build the motor myself so not too knowledgeable about valve train stuff so that makes sense, will do some more research so I understand more. Hopefully it’s the fuel pump

    I thought that but wasn’t sure how to check, the fuel pump is new with the swap but doesn’t mean it’s not bad, should I just try replacing it?
