I would consider that normal Rick. All I have is an ooze at idle after minutes with nothing. And if I rev it, I get an insufficient spurt.
Over the last 4 days, I have spent 40 hours on the internet researching this problem. Last night I spent 6 hours at Corvaircenter.com. The replacement lifter for Corvair engines is the SBC lifter. A bunch of those guys have the same problem as I do, and they have tried nearly every lifter modification there is, with no solution. 1 guy even fabricated an axillary oil spray bar. So I am not alone in this. I'll post some of their pics, after I resize them later.
I'll post more tonight. I have to get ready for work.
Grumpy, please read this thread from the beginning:

What I can say right now is that this is a new rebuild of this resurrected engine. Most of the parts are reused (19,000 miles) and are in perfect condition. The cam is new, but the same as before, the heads got guide liners, valves, and a seat touch-up, springs, and new lifters. The pushrods and 8 intake rockers are reused. The exhaust rockers are new (CC 1.52 roller tip). Everything worked as it should the 1st go around using the Crane lifters. This time I'm using Delphi's with the hardened bases. What took the engine out the first time was that the valve retainers were hitting the valve seals. It killed the cam lobes and sent all that metal through the engine, killing everything. That has been corrected and the valvetrain geometry now is perfect with no interference anywhere.
