I adjusted the valves, now it is missing like crazy?

You can wipe out a cam real quick. I did it in a race motor only had 20 laps of practice. Had to rebuild the whole engine again.. However it could just be a collapsed lifter that may come back after some use or a bent pushrod. If it is the cam you will know very soon!

It's all in how you learned to do them Kevin. You are more comfortable doing it dry. I am more comfortable doing it wet. edit: that didn't come out right.
You know what I mean. I trust my ears. Doing it running with the idle speed lowered it doesn't make that big a mess and the pecks are very noticeable. And using the no splash rocker clips or an old cover that's been opened up helps contain the oil. Once done it can be considered done forever also.
