well im not sure now. if Portmaster said that he has been fooled i easily could have been. Im almost positive its not a header tho. Two reasons. First is that i just replaced the header gaskets when i did my heads and when i went to readjust my rockers today, i found two weak lifters. the spring was so weak that even after turning the nut a full turn it was still able to be pushed down. the others were very different. i ordered new lifters.
wat i need to know now is wat direction should the little notch on the lifters face. (there is a small triangular shaped notch towards the top on my lifters). im guessing its for oil to pass through. i didnt look to see wat way they faced when i was pulling them out cause im a noob.haha let me know wat you guys think. thanks

i took all the lifters out and all of them were fine accept two. they were noticeably weaker. everything in the valve train is brand new accept them so i belive this it. if not then it doesnt hurt to have the new ones in there anyway. If the problem continues ill look elsewhere. i have hi hopes for this one tho ha. im at the point where all i wanna do is drive it. i dont even care how fast it goes ha.
