An intelligent & professional practitioner of the hot rodding arts, who is also a hydraulic engineer from the aviation industry, claims cavitation and leakage have been the issues with the 351C lubrication system all along. Others have intuitively hinted at the issue without labeling the problem as cavitation. I found the diagnosis compelling, so I consulted a couple of hydraulic engineers I know from my career in industry; after looking into the situation they fully agreed with the diagnosis, as though it was rather matter of fact. One commented "of course the tappets are going to cavitate at high speed".

I guess I don't read well anymore? I thought the issue was with oil pump cavitation? There's even a video illustrating it?
