Yes exactly....For me, its a volume issue. I have been killing #7 & #8 bearings for years when they starve for oil....Wondering what other folks due differently. Obviously, an accumulator might be in order as well. So roller cam bearings and maybe sleeved lifter bores sounds like what I have been missing.
