yeah i think its on the passenger side, i also scanned it and the number one cylinder is not producing the same amount of power as the rest of them. i keep on thinking that a lifter is out on that cylinder. im gonna check that plug wire for sure and the spark plug too.

yeah i milled them both out, and nevermind about the number one cylinder thing they are all working fine, but these roller rockers are noisy as can be

yeah see i was thinking the same thing but i don't want to tear down a motor that i just built on a hunch. they are new lifters from lunati, but i guess that one of them could be bad, i did take them apart before i put them in but i doubt i screwed one of them up its not like i had any left over parts or anything
