That was the second shoe to fall. I learned that this morning by realizing that I was wrong and confident yet again on start up. At least now I know how and why I was wrong twice. Not going to do that again.

If you adjusted valves like you was doing the distributor install....You need to go back and adjust valves again.
How much preload did the new lifters call for?
How did you check the preload?
What technique did you use to lock the polylocks down? Need to turn the nut for the final lock instead of just tightening the set screw.
