Hi Guys. I am wondering if someone can help me out. I just had a shop in town rebuild my 1972 350. It is all stock except it is 40 over(10and 10 on bearings) with a comp cam(260H) comp lifters but stock springs.(they said the comp springs were too stiff and wouldn't work). The motor sounds fine until it is warmed up good then it has a tick that sounds like it is coming from the drivers side . It doesn't sound like a lifter maybe more like a rocker arm. It had an oil pressure problem so they put in a hi pressure hi volume kit.warm at an idle in gear(650 rpm) it only has 15 lbs 20lbs in park and 50-55 on the highway. Is this an ok figure for a motor that has 150 miles on it? Do all motors with aftermarket cams sound a little louder? The shop doesn't know what to do . Said keep an eve on the oil pressure and sounds if they get worse bring it back. Any Ideas? Thanks John
