eddy heads and what rockers to use?

Holy crap, this thing's killing me! Just checked the lifter oiling & have at least one that's a little above the hole. Crane didn't engineer the retro rollers well, the lifter groove is too big & in wrong position. Who'd you get your small base circle cam from? Did you look into any other options other than a cam change? Thanks!

It's not the lifters... it's the block.

The blocks were machined poorly, castings poured with rough tolerances.

The lifters bores you have an issue with, may not be in another block and the other might have problems with bores that yours fit fine.

All part of hopping up 35+year old stuff.

You'll need a cam cut with a smaller base circle, which is not uncommon for SB mopars. Why the manufactures don't do it from the start...

He had a smaller base circle cam cut for me from Comp.
