Just thought I would update y'all for anybody that was following. Pulled the motor apart tonight and the cam bearings are not centered. Huge gap on the 2nd from the front bearing for oil to pump through and that's just what I can see with a flashlight trough the front of the motor. Didn't know any better as to where the cam bearings should be when assembling the motor but now that I have had the problem I consider myself some what of a oil pressure guru (lol j/k). So needless to say machine shop is going to get a earful Monday. Who knows how many people that napa machine shop is screwing over.
