I said it was cheap, I didnt say it was great. First, unless you are making 450 + NHP, the motor will never know how many bolts are on the mains. Second, my point was, you dont have to put a $3000 motor in your $3000 C4, there are other options. I can say that because I have one. It runs 12.80 @ 110 with the original 2 bolt L98 block.

I am wondering how you collapsed the lifters if it had good oil pressure at idle. They shouldn't have been making noise after a cold lash setting. I am tempted to say, throw a set of lifters and pushrods in it, set the lash cold, and fire it up. If the cam spec'd out OK you may be able to just do lifters and pushrods. I had an old big block ford that was the same way, made a racket, couldn't adjust the noise out of the rockers. Turns out the pushrods were worn, the round ends were worn to a point. I installed lifters and new pushrods and the noise went away and it ran fine. It was an old oil burning POS plow truck so I didnt want to sink a ton of time or money in it. Ran like that for years. iIt's possible you overtightened the pushrods and they eventually collapsed the lifters and wore the ends. That would also account for ther silvery goo in the valley.

Can you give me just one good reason why you don't simply drain the oil through an old pair of pantyhose, (or some form of filter) like I told you to do a week ago on another forum?

I sure can't, other than that i haven't drained the oil yet, as most of my trouble shooting has occurred while the engine is running.

I, like others would have kicked that motor to the curb after seeing those valves, but, seeing that you have the time, patience, and money, this triple rebuild makes for a great thread.... I'm learning a lot on your dime... |

I do not have the money, hence all the troubleshooting instead of pulling the engine.
Time and patience are things I do have. Triple rebuild? so far, I've done it once; and that was just replacing the head gaskets. |

I drained the oil.
here's what I got after running it through a mesh filter then a magnet there are some larger slivers of metal. I also cut the filter with a sawzall, and it had metal flakes in it, but I don't know if they were present before I used a saw on it. |

I still think you pulverized the push rods. Overtightening them will make them deflect into the guideplates. Are they all galled up on the sides?

as in do they have markings on them? no, the look fine, honestly. there are one or two that have some black "something" on it, but it was on the surface and wasn't raised nor sunken. |

Actually, I am thinking of a small block Ford. Nevermind.

That is what I was thinking BUT, keep in mind, a TBI motor uses a different cylinder head and your intake wont fit. You would need another intake. Also, I am not a SBC specialist, but that is an injected motor and I don't know if the cam has provisions for the fuel pump.
