He said that you will see very little on the first and possilby the second oil change, after that there shouldn't be any. The reason for 20w-50, is because that is what the builder told me to use. I'm running a high volume pump with a stock cover. The oil pressure at cold idle-80psi, warm-50psi.
First of all. thats too much oil pressure, and the high volume oil pump with thick oil is a big no no. your cam sensor runs the oil pump and you are going to see a gear failure in the very near future.

as for the cam issue, assuming this is a hydraulic roller, what were your preload measurements? were the proper lenth pushrods used?

I hope your builder didn't just throw it together...

Any head work done? after market valves?
