What lifters are in it?
I have the same issue with a 400 I just built and I remember when I primed it before firing I noticed more than the usual oil bleeding past the lifter bores. Also, oil started dripping out of the rockers after about 30 seconds when it usually takes a few minutes to get them all dripping. At the time I thought huh...that is interesting... but now looking back, I wonder if the lifters are slightly undersize or configured differently than what I usually use. The cam and lifters are a Comp retrofit roller grind. I know in my mind that 20 at idle is OK, but it always makes me a little nervous. -Abone.
