Hydraulic Roller Lifters w/LA Block?

Ironmike said

Sorry nub, I just can't believe it. Whoever is telling you to NOT have the base circle lowered is full of BS.

I know at least 4 local guys here who have done what I did. It works.

My brand new Lunati just came last week ground on a 1.040 base, and with Mikes lifters all is good. Without the lowered base and Mikes lifters, it would be a disaster.

What year is your block again?

'71 block - me thinks.

If you're referring to Mike from MRL his lifters are solid rollers (not hydraulic). If you have hydraulic lifters they're probably the Morels that I already have (see my pics above to confirm).

Yeah the cam grind might actually work still but it can only be shaved down so much.

rod7515 mentions above that even after two custom cam grinds it still wasn't enough for him so he ended up having to go to MRL solid rollers too. Trying to avoid a similar headache which is why going solid seems like it might be the overall better option for me.
