Question:is this the kind of lifter that would make your oil pressure bobble just a little... like 3 PSI up/down as it is idling b/c of slight bleed off? My buddies ElCamino oil pressure gauge does that @ idle... makes sense to use this lifter to me... I don't see a downside??

Yeah DD... but you will break down a motor in a weekend & bei up & racing in no time... welding in oil windage trays, looking at bearings, etc... I would love to spend a day w/ you too!! I saw your build log on the Doba... pretty extensive!!!
