It seems to happen at low rpm's, like at start-up, or low idle...I do believe I have some lifters not doing the job correctly, so, tomorrow, I'll pull the intake and do some lifters and all new pushrods, and maybe new rockers although they seem ok...I'm thinking about changing the name of the thread to "Mechanically Challenged" lol...
Man, can't win for losing, huh? At least you've been able to fix it thus far.

and on the thread title
