i recently had a new cam installed on my camaro 350 and roller rockers and when i started it up the lifters wouldnt pump up. I have a voodoo .468/.489 cam and 1.6 to 1 rockers and the lifters are the ones that came with the cam. I bought a new set of lifters and the problem wasnt as bad but still there and now the rockers falling to the side. The stock rockers were reinstalled and it is running like that. So i now have the voodoo lifters and voodoo rockers in the trunk of the car. useless. What could cause this problem? i didnt do the work myself cuz i didnt want to screw it up but i think i couldve done this good at least.

You might want to take the valve covers off and check for oil coming up the push rods if there is no oil your engine wont last. Check with lunati to make sure you have the right cam if you still have your old cam check the last journal for a grove for the oil to get around the new cam may be solid and may not have the grove your engine needs/ good luck

With the stock rockers, are the lifters pumping up?

What is your oil pressure like?

Yes they're pumping up and oil pressure is good.
