I'm having the same trouble with my setup. I have MS3 cam w/ PRC double valve springs and TSP forged pushrod. I checked to see if any rocker arms were loose, and pulled the pushrods to see if one was bent. Everything looked fine so I'm
Assuming it's my stock lifters. I would say check your rocker arms, and pushrods first to see if that's the prob. Easy fix there. If not either if those, then check lifters. Just my .02
