Dead lifter
Bandaid didnt work.
Does anyone know how to change out lifters without tearing the heads off the engine? Im just hoping a cam lobe isnt wiped but my suspicions are the lifter. Reason. I can put a finger between the valve and the rocker. It ran fine when the engine oil pressure had a second to fill the lifter. Well no more.

From my racing car engine building days my memory tells me you can go as far as changing the cam without pulling the heads. There may be something different about the PSD that I'm not aware of, but changing lifters, one or all of them is fairly simple.
