Got the engine back together a couple weeks back.
We tested all the new lifters before installation. Interestingly, they had some variation in how far the plunger would travel.
Before installing the intake, we tested for compression in each cylinder after adjusting the valves.
We pulled the distributer and primed the oil pump as well.
Runs much better. 15" of vacuum at idle now instead of 9. A ton more power, smooth idle, and no popping on acceleration.
Thanks for all the advice.
