I have a fresh 1990' 302 long block I bought. It had a stock 302 cam and I opted for a 351w comp extreme cam. I lubed it with the install lube. Fired it up with no mufflers and broke it in for 15-20 mins.I rebuilt the Holley 600, to find out I had a bad gas tank with crap in it(Gell like crap). I got the saddle tank to work(new one), replaced the plugs and carb. The carb is now a Edelbrock 600.
She was reving fine before the Edelbrock was put on,but I couldnt hear any valve train noise till I got mufflers on it. Well now I got it all quiet and sounds like I was getting no oil to the top end. I took the valve covers off and started the motor up. Plenty of oil as it got all over(70 PSI). Still clatter like a mother. think the cam is the prob? Should I go back a RV 302 cam? The motor is real lazy now too. I tried adjusting the timing all over the place and it sounds like a 4 cylinder.
