I say the control arm bushings are probably what caused all this....if you are gona run a Ratt you have to have big block control arm bushings.

Default RE; bad cam

Yep....And you*ll need a billingham-langston ganglia wrench in order to install those new bushings! Don*t forget the philpott extension, and those bushings, will need to be milled .025 over-all more than any other place.

Default bad cam

if you have the cam out--check to see if one of the bushings isn't lined up with the oil passage in the block---or something in the passage could be restricting the flow--it has happened on a freshly hot tanked block --it just wasn't flushed out real good
