I am getting constant rotation when turning the engine over by hand. The lifters and push-rods are rotating on the base circle (with no spring tension) and continue to rotate through the lift and return to the seat (under tension).

This is with all new components - NOS lifters and a fresh grind on the cam. Everything lashed cold to .020. Can't final lash until components are up to operating temperature.
