That there I find interesting...I got this from a well known racer..There are two Moroso pans that are advertised as 7 quarts...One is actually 6!! Why they sell it as a 7 quart pan is beyond me. Also why would Barton tell you to only run 6 quarts? When you changed oil did you put a 1/2 quart into the filter then top it off? Did the dipstick read at the full mark? What pickup did it have on it??
Need your rear end checked out? Contact Grizzly!!

if you are only seeing 20psi above idle, I wouldn't lean on it too hard. That pressure should shoot up to above 50 as soon as you get off idle (1200 and up). Sure looks like somethings up.
My engine is far from new and holds 20 at idle and between 50 and 60 at cruise. I can't imagine running 5 quarts in a 7 quart pan, sounds like you sucked the bottom end dry.

The exhaust is relatively quiet. However the Ray Barton rocker arms and solid lifters are not. The lifter noise is all I hear under the hood and it sounds the same as it always has.
Wondering about the valve lash after reading this, who set the valve lash? Have you checked since this problem popped up? Noisey rocker arms arn't normal, imho.

Well… It is apart and at Pfeiffers Engine Specialties in Freeport, IL. There are two spun mains, the cam bearings are totally destroyed and 7 flat lobes on the cam. The bearing clearances appear too tight and the rings are too loose. Both the block and crank are salvageable. I will be switching to a solid roller cam if I can locate lifters that will survive on the street. Also the pistons are hitting the heads and will need some milling to clearance them. Steve Pfeiffer says he does NOT see signs that it ran out of oil.
I just changed oil on my Road Runner’s 451 and am seeing similar issues. The filter has silver metal in it as opposed to the gold I saw in the Hemi’s filter. The drain plug has fine filings stuck to it and the oil is turning black in just a very few miles. However I don’t detect the burnt smell in the oil that was evident in the Hemi and I still have good oil pressure. At least this is a roller cam engine so I don’t have to worry about the cam going flat. Here we go again!
I KNEW IT SOUNDED LIKE cam/lifters were tearing up,from my post on page one, and caused all other problems, pistons are tapping heads now beacause there are no rod bearings left, that can throw piston/rods 50-80 thou farther up to hit head. after redone clay for clearance. dont just start milling pistons, is elmer fudd doing this one also....

I have used a lot of those pans on engines over the years. I never knew that! All the ones I put on took 7 Quarts in the pan and one for the filter. Always read the full mark on the Dipstick. I guess you are never to old to learn !

From the beginning I was thinking bad break-in but I kept my mouth shut. I'm hearing more & more about BB's wiping out cams in the first 1,000 miles recently than I have heard in the previous 40! SUMTHINS going on here and I don't know what it is....

Thanks for the update, sorry about your engine.
When I read what you said about valve train noise it made it sound like the lash was not set right. It's easy to it get wrong, Sorry again.

No problem there. Just have Lunati or your favorite cam company grind you a mild street roller profile (something in the .590-.600 range, 110 lobe separation, 240 @ 050 lift) and run a lighter spring (190 on the seat and 450 open)or a beehive spring. Any lifter/spring will last a long time, your less likely to smoke exhaust push rods, and it'll make plenty o power (mine made 650@6500rpm). Keep your oil pressure around 30psi at idle.
Set the end play up for around .003-.005" so the cam doesn't bump around alot as this beats the hell out of the oil pump drive. It also keeps the ignition timing rock steady.
If you want the specs I can dig them up.

Chris, this is a real bummer. I have the SAME engine from Barton. No issues 'cept the damper bolts and the mechanical fuel pump mounting. Those rockers are loud, same as mine. Hard to hear any other mechanicals when she is running. I agree about milling the pistons. If they weren't hitting before, they won't hit when rebuilt. You won't be stretching those rods any.

If that engine was turning 7,000 RPMs with only 5 quarts of oil in the pan, there's little doubt you exposed the oil pick-up and were sucking air.
I love the smell of Deer guts in the morning, it smells like... VICTORY!

That was my thought.
