I got out this morning and pulled the pass side valve cover off and started priming again looked down in side the lifter valley and had oil splashing all over the place . Took the intake off and found all 3 oil plugs missing . Put them in and have 60 psi on the drill priming it :party36:

Whoda thunk it?

This is very upsetting. I am now forced to question the entire thing. The only reasonable solution is to disassemble an start over.
How else am I supposed to trust it?
