Pressure relief valve in the cam plate is probably stuck.

The root issue with those 110" engines seems to stem from the colossal valve spring pressures generated by the Comp Cams springs that HD used in those heads.
They harm the lifter axles/rollers, and in turn, wipe out the pump, and plate, and can destroy the inner cam bearings
That said, do not disregard any odd noises that may crop up.
