Hi lads,
I finally got around to replacing the lifters, bolting the heads back on etc.
I still get quite a loud tapping (see video I had it running for 10mins thinking it might go away). I think it's louder than before but same sorta sound.
Noted:
-Oil pressure stayed at 30psi on idle even when increasing rpm to 2000 - does this sound like a faulty oil pump relief valve?
-I pulled the rocker covers and found one rocker arm appeared to have no oil on it where every other one did. pushrod isn't blocked.
Does it look to you that there is not much oil flowing up into the heads? I noticed there are bigger pools of oil closer to the back of the engine. Should the oil be evenly spread? Although, even the rocker arms further away from the back of the engine got oil where cylinder 1 exhaust rocker got none.
**I'm aware there is water in the oil- pretty sure I got some down the dipstick hole when flushing the cooling system
*Black stuff is assembly lube
thanks
