Ultra Dyne cam - no part number shown on build sheet. It is a pretty mild cam. It dynoed at 480 hp.

The engine was built for the previous owner by a reputable builder.

Oil pressure is about 15 psi at hot idle. As shown on Smith gauge.

The noise can be clearly heard at the rocker covers using my stethescope.

On the right bank it sounds like all rockers are making noise. The left sounds like the back 2 cylinders only. The front 2 can be heard, but not nearly as loud as the back 2.

Before the engine gets thoroughly heated, the sound on all cylinders is the same and pretty typical of other eninges I have listened to that don't have a lifter tick.
