IMM Engines 408 build

It's not like the engine builder makes the lifters, yet we get the blame. Again, this is why I don't like doing hydraulic anything anymore. The lobes are more aggressive, the spring rates are higher, RPM's are higher and it takes a bunch of work to make a hydraulic lifter happy.

Oh isn't this the truth. Not long ago a customer came in and wanted a Lunati cam KIT with lifters ordered. I recommended a couple of different kit #'s and he picked one, picked up the kit, installed it in his 350 Chevy and came back a week later complaining of lifter noise. I ordered up a set of Melling's and GAVE them to him on the promise that I would need back the faulty ones if Lunati would come good for them. Guess what? He seemed to think I manufactured the lifters wrong and I did this to him on purpose anyways , my name was mud and I'm out a set of lifters NET loss of $30 or so. Should have told him to E-bay it or some such ****. J.Rob
