Come to think of it I changed my o-ring when I did my cam as well because a friend (Whistler) insisted I was a retard if I didn't... I would check it out .

So I figured out what the problem was guys... Pulled the o-ring, looked great, but as I was putting the new o-ring in I realised... With the double roller timing chain you get shims... They arent very big, but you're oil pickup tube still has a bolt in the back. So, in turn, the pivot point is not perfect for the new oil pump possition, after about 30 min I FINALLY got the oring to seat right. What a PITA, get her all pinned up, the thing draws so much the car dind't want to idle, but at 60 psi cold, which is higher than normal. So I went and drove the car 50 miles, no lifter noise, no really low oil pressure, lowest it's getting now is 25 full hot, and i think it's only that low because the car wants to idle at 650-700 rpms, at 900 it's at 30-33 psi.

For the record, the o-ring can be changed by, pulling the motor mount bolts, raising the engine//tranny, lowering the pan(it wont come out =P ), and there is enough room to get my big hands in there. So yeah..

Thanks for the help guys! I'll keep you posted.

Finally no lifter noise I'm suprised that it runs as good as it does without a tune. With a tune the birds going to be insane. Thanks for the ride, lol
