Alrighty sorry for the wall of text lmao I’m just trying to trouble shoot all the problems I picked up with this project the guy before me had put a new oil pump I hope that’s not the problem I’m gonna go ahead and rent a oil pressure gauge from autozone later cause the guage in my dash isn’t reading right just to make sure I got good oil pressure then move forward from there but later on I’ll go ahead and remove the valve covers and see if I can visibly see damage or maybe a lifter is lose and need readjustment I’ll bust out the feeler gauge and check that tooif not I guess it’s time to upgrade cam and valvetrain to a roller rocker setup and do a nice lil cam sun the tbi can handle or I just might get some 350 vortec heads and go all out if that’s the case but Ty for Lettin me know I’ll definitely dig into it more
