    holy cow, what an Ass I was. It's been a while since I was here and I can't believe I talked like that. I'm so sorry to all who I offended there no excuse for being such an idiot.

    Yeah-I had one bad lifter too and that is one reason why she is a x-wife

    Curious-I know you know the advantages of roller conversions,why not go that route and solve the problem??.

    1gary, the advantages of a roller cam, no break in required, steeper ramp up and down profiles, less friction which equals less heat. I'm sure there may be more.

    all i did was put in yet another lifter and it finally solved the problem. Must have just gotten 2 bad lifters. After I finally fixed the problem I also installed a High volume oil pump just in case. it's been 5 years and no problems.

    Oops, my bad 1gary! Your right, he knows what you know that I know, or do I know?
