Frustration thy name is jeep

that's pretty cool how you ran it with half a valve cover like that! it might be why you're having problems, though...

stuck lifter? maybe thats what joe's sounded like except multiples it had 3 or 4 stuck lifters on it

I ran it for a while and listened and took a look at the valvetrain. Everything looked good from what I can tell. I was going to pull off the oil pan and look at the bottom but decided against it. I actually wanted a day with no work during my off days. Not sure when I can start working on it again. May just have it towed and repaired

Stroker plans in the works. Hope to have it running again by mid December.

That's exciting!

it would be if this was expected. Now I'm crunched on time and haven't had any pre-planning for any of this.
