Operation Torquey-Pig

I’m all for easier, do you care to elaborate? Are you referring to the lifter guide retainer plate (spider) as “the lifter valley windage tray”? I think the taller cam bosses on the roller blocks may be the bigger pitfall to overcome here. It may require the spacing for the lifter guides in order for everything to match up for the retainer plate to hold the guide bars in place.

I'm taking about using this hold down idea to hold the spider in place.
By the way it might not be a bad idea to Bush the lifter bores.
