More details would help us answer your questions.

A sig with your major parts would be great as well.

My first thoughts about this issue is.......

Are you using guide plates and if so, did you use stock pr's with them? If that is the case then I can see how you would have metal shavings from the soft stock pr's get in your oil pump and cause probs.

Just give us some more detailed info.

Later

You could have mis-adjusted the rockers when you were installing them. Are they stock pushrods/rockers/heads or aftermarket. What are your mods???
Scott


Also, if you take a lifter, pushrod, rocker from one position, they all MUST be returned to it's original position, otherwise the crap will hit the fan.
