Having some noise from the engine. Pulled the valve covers off. Started the engine and noticed oil leaching out of the pushrods, not squirting out. Lifter failure?
If every pushrods has the same amount coming out of them I don't think every lifter would be causing it does the noise decrease when you rev it do you have a oil pressure gauge does your oil pressure increase with rpm what is hot idle oil pressure what weight oil you running does the noise ever go away I would suspect a clearance problem with oil pump not getting the oil up to the top end the oiling systems were not great to start with
I had it happen several times not only to our cars had it happen on a couple late60's muscle cars getting harder and harder to maintain older muscle cars with flat tapet cams
Depends. There's many things that can cause a flat cam on a fresh rebuild.
What was your original cause of failure that caused the rebuild in the first place? And how far down did you go with the engine before putting it back together?
