Not really looking for a debate but I will kindly disagree with you on the roller cam/lifter issue for a street driven vehicle as being problematic. I have ran 2 different horsepower level engines on the street with significant time and raced both packages and both engines used different brand of not only cams but also lifters with zero issues. Obviously your statement was probably formed off of personal experience which I respect but at the same token my personal experiences produced different results.

I had this engine come in for a refresh and just happened to notice these axles had partially slid out and were almost making contact with the lifter bores. Imagine the carnage this would have caused. These are short travel Hyd lifters that had .003-.004 preload. First time I see this--it's usually not this subtle. I don't trust 'em . J.Rob
