Well, I decided to put it back together with the OPR vlv blocked off. I just don't want to spend anymore money on this particular motor. So far there is no difference in the vlv noise. No doubt because of the wear in the valvetrain. I still believe that blocking off the OPR vlv would be a good idea. Obviously the valvetrain needs more oil to prevent premature wear. Just my opinion. Thanks for everyone's response and please post if you try this and let us know how it works out for you.
