Default a good one for you

when i first installed the engine it scared the **** out of me when i couldnt get any oil pressure. so i flushed it and changed the oil. then i got oil pressure right away and have had great oil pressure ever since.

NOW it runs great if i'm criusing around town, but after about 10 minutes of extended driving around or above 2000 rpms it will start to sound like i have no oil going to the top of the engine although the pressur is around 40psi. then when i slow down it goes away again. WTF?

im running patriot gold springs with hardened 7.4 rods.

and i'm runing RP 10w30 with a NAPA gold filter.


my first thought was the possibility that my rockers are loose, but it would ALWAYS make noise if that were the case.
