Yuppers! At your suggestion we spent the extra $$$$$ and put them in the 501 in the Comet last winter. Tore the engine down for it's annual checkup couple weeks ago---not a mark on anything in the valve train... Thanks!

Thanks to all.
Got the pickup works good.

After thinking about it awhile I'm going to take your advice pat. I just ordered the EDM solid lifters. I should have plenty of oiling with the combination of these and the grooves.
