    check roller's and make shure they turn and no flat spot's.

    and as the above post's state. cam run in, and spring bind, valve lean over.

    How heavy duty did you go with the springs(if you replaced them). Also thinking either faulty cam, rollers or they not run in right.

    are you running it in properly, using the right lube (pre-lubricating) and not just waiting for oil to make it there?
