Stumped

Well crawled up under the car, pulled all push rods look straight rolled on piece of glass. Adjusted all the valves what a pain if you don't get the push rod all the way into the lifter. buttoned it back up and fired it up. Cold the oil is near 80 psi warm about 20 psi. Think maybe a collapsed a lifter ???? This car has a web cam .500 lift 270 duration. rocker arms are minus the spring instead there is a solid bushing. adjusters are long with a ball end. yes I made sure the flat end is against the valve stem. Going to run it later and see if it blows up or not. I think I need new copper header seals as it sounds like a leak pht pht.
