Ok so I solved my oil pressure problem. One of my lifters popped out of it's bore and bent my pushrod. What causes this to happen,and how can I keep this from happening again? Thanks!

You have it backwards..... the pushrod bent then the lifter came out.... pushrods bend for a few different reasons.... some were all ready stated

Did you have the heads checked before install, I've heard of some problems with tight valve guides. That could bend a push rod. Also what valve gear are you running?

Maybe double check rockers installed correct, I know small blocks have off sets. Also if the blosk or heads have been milled, push rods could be too long. Just throwing stuff out there. Sorry about your problem, I know this season is is winding down quickly.
