How many lobes where missing mate? Is there any signs of wear on the bearings of the cam (Lack of oil pressure ) Just asking although there isn't always a cause, usually there is an explanation..

Had it been a bike, i'd have said it's been warm at some point, but definately not shagged, all the lobes looked good which left me doubting the lifters, oh, and all but 3 of the push rods weren't straight,,, not bent, but when i rolled em on a flat, some had humps

I'm not convinced youve found the problem. I know you probably dont want to here that but she had a decent knock, It would probably be worth just dropping the sump and checking the big end bearings...But please make sure you fit the sump gasket back properly..(Hey Phil.... ;D)
Cheers Marcus

Just stuck the cam and lifters in that Chris dropped at mine earlier, the "comp cams" lifters look a hell of a lot better than stock ones, but i suppose the proof is in the pudding, dropped the oil and filter and there's no shiny shitty floaters in either so fingers crossed there.. Gotta wait for gaskets to arrive, then i'll pop the sump off and see what's going on down there.........
Also "accidentally" bought some gear driven timing stuff.... Never liked chains anyway... Having a day off tomorrow, but back on it on Friday with John the magician metal spinner for some fancy parts knocking up...
Roadtrip down to see the hillbillies for the weekend, then my parts should arrive Monday, so it should be running again, hopefully with Chris Round there for milld tweaking unless it's still clattering it's balls off
