OK fellas, sorry for the long silence. I have been doing my homework and building a case for Comp. I am going to do a typed letter to the company with all of the supporting documentation as phreakish recommended and see what happens from there. In the meantime I have been working with Hughes Engines and they are going to take care of me. Their customer support is something else. Here are the differences between the two lifters that Comp has sent me and it makes sense on why the pushrods are so close with the new re-designed ones. Enjoy these pics fellas!
