Question lifters?
I ve got some chattering going on in my valve train. Could it be bad lifters? Its a freshly built 331 stroker. They are used lifters. I've adjusted the roller rockers 3 times using the ioec method while using a oil pump primer. It is a full roller engine

using 6.550 pushrods. had a friend of mine make an adjustable pushrod to check the length. The ones I had were to short at 6.272. The only thing that wasn't new were lifters.
