And if he's pushrods are too long which I have seen with people running ls7 lifters..he's losing control of his valve train. I've done a lot of research on this before starting and it's the little things that get you.

alirght so if yer valve train is up to par then were back to o rings wich kinda blows because that pretty much requires pulling the motor

He will need to do a compression test to see if it is the rings and if not..replace valve seals..a lot easier than pulling the motor. He may have been spot on in the original post.
