UPDATE---

I finally figured out the no start..I got it to run and had it idle for 30 min. It is now getting oil to the topend. But I still have some ticking from up top. Do trucks with cams make topend noise?? Also what is ideal oil pressure at idle and around 2000-2500 rpm. I just want to compare. At idle mine is the first big line to the left of 40 psi...At around 2000-2500 rpm it is at 40 psi. I think it is kinda low but what do ya'll think?

sometimes they make a little noise if the pushrod length isnt spot on.

Aftermarket performance valve springs always mae noise.. The sound gets magnified with headers. Mine sits at abou 40 psi at idle and 60 at 3500-3000 rpm and 75-80psi and 5k+ rpm.

My oil pressure is the same as yours it sounds...Blows my mind after the built motor and ported LS6 oil pump. I think I used the blue o-ring. My max oil pressure is around 60psi at 6000 rpms.
