ok so pretty much pages 3 and 4 should just be deleted very upsetting to see old mature men get into a piss match

now pat if you ever look at this post again i am doing exactly what you said im just going to replace the springs

tech thats was an awesome response thank you for that defiantly a lot of knowledge i will be returning to and using

the reason i cannot get the numbers off the block is because i do not have it it is at the machine shop waiting for me to give the go ahead i can tell you this i pulled flat tappet lifters out of the block and the cam is downstairs

as i have been doing some research i would need the part that bolts into the block galley that holds the lifters straight....but if it wasnt a roller wouldnt the block not have that hole? would i be able to drill and tap the hole myself? other then that i would have to buy retro lifters that every two are connected u would have to purchase shorter rods too
