Re: Sure gets annoying when.....................
I just went through something similar, but "only" had to remove the heads,(and intake of course) leaving the motor in the car. Initially thought I had a collapsed lifter, but ended up being a badly worn valve guide. Took off both heads and had them all replaced to be safe. Still not sure how or why there was so much wear with so few miles, but in any case... one more thing to look for.

Re: Sure gets annoying when.....................
The engine (block, heads, intake, etc) are all original to the car. It was pulled apart for a rebuild. Funny thing is, it was on the dyno and worked fine. This problem reared it's head after 200 miles and has proceeded to get worse (now about 500 miles) [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/bs.gif[/img]
My suspicion about cam bearings is further supported by the huge oil pressure.
