yup new everything.  rockers , balls , pushrods , nuts , lifters , cam  , 
pistons , cylinders , etc.  the nuts  are NOT changing by moving  ..the 
lifters are. only 2 lifters are the real culprits and all will get changed  soon. 
the general all around noise of lifters at cam  (noises are not bad  with 
covers off) is way louder than what i call normal.  it is now a touch  better 
with new break in oil (30 ND and lucas break in additive ) after @200  
miles.if you have ever heard a 327 fuelie with solid lifters, that is what it  
sounds like. this is not my first corvair motor , but first one that ended up 
 like this , and it has not been a happy time.
i will fix it later in fall , other things have to be dealt with first  
here.  it just ticks me off....
i am blaming lifters at the moment.  more as i get time.
