Message 60 mi. on the new motor now, lifter tick has subsided a little but still there on startup. Going to swap out the break in oil for synthetic tonight, but here is what I'm hearing now:

On light acceleration AND when your diving right in that zone where your ON/OFF the throttle (i.e. power band where your barely resting on the gas, neither deceling or accelerating hard), I get a noticable tick from the engine bay, and I THINK its coming from the top of the motor, it is always there. It's pretty apparent and can deff hear from inside cabin.

Notable engine components:
JWT hd valve springs
JWT 500 cams
BDE sprockets, JWT cam adapters
NEW OEM lifters
JWT HD valve springs,
