so i just rebuilt my engine bored it 30 over and put a very light cam in it. engine ran great on start up break in and for two very short test drives. engine is now missing under a load most of the time. sometimes it will miss with out load just raising rpms. also has noise sounds like coming from exhaust when it happens. anyone have a suggestion?

Did you do the rebuild?is it possible the lifters are adjusted to tight,when you first start them up it takes a little time for hyd lifters to pump up and once they do they can cause the valves to hang open slightly cause this condition.

Did you mill the block and/or head mating surfaces? If so, and it was both, there could be an issue with the pushrods being too long now. JMO
