Also, it might be a good idea to check for badly worn cam lobes on the cylinders with a wide gap between the pushrods and the rocker arm adjusters. A couple of nearly flat cam lobes could account for the lack of power. All the lifters should rise about the same amount as the engine is turned over. Milk can and flat top lifters shouldn't be used on the same engine- - - -somebody might have cobbled together a bunch of mismatched parts.
