Solid roller lifter failure

[bermblaster41]

First of all thanks again for all of your help and input. Long story short. Turn of events that led up to my failure. Last summer I used a FRAM oil filter.(EPIC mistake) I noticed a drop in my oil pressure of almost 20 psi. I ran it for a bit not sure what the problem was. I switched out to a NAPA gold filter and regained my oil pressure. While I was useing the Fram I think I hurt my main bearings. I have my motor out and I am replacing my main and rod bearings and a new melling high volume oil pump. My crank looks good. The guy who designed and built my cam gave me a good deal on repairing my cam and new solid roller lifters. I will run this for a while and keep a close eye on my valve lash. In a few years I will swap out my entire valvetrian for a hyd roller set up. Yes Larry I do have a restrictor in for my mains. My machinist suggested an oil developed by a racing team that is supposed to be the most slippery oil on the market. I will post the brand in the a.m. I can't remember. I also want to push the oil pressure regulator button in a pinch so I will end up with 75 psi under a load. Thanks again! Berm
