    Well one of my buddies dads has his 02 trans am down at Texas Rear Turbos getting a twin turbo kit. I guess that Billy called and told them one whole bank of lifters is barely moving when they try to start the car, but the other side is ok. My question is what can cause this? All i can think is bad lifters, too short of push rods, or a oil pressure problem on that bank only. Anyone have any ideas? I didnt talk to Billy, and i don't have all the details of what all TRT is doing to the motor, but i thought it was a complete "build up" with heads, cam and turbos. Thanks!

    Sounds like a busted or restricted oil galley.

    No oil issues, we havent even fired the car or had a chance to double check the rockers on that side. I doubt is anything other than re-adjusting.
    As far as a complete build up. I am working on a budget according to the owner. The Jesel rockers were the only thing used from the old motor.

    Oh, we didn't manage to get all the information. I love when that happens.
