cudafever, check pg 2 post 23

some of the circles are where they belong, some are not and it looks to me to be an eratic and too wide pattern on the cam

I agree, but i don't thing that it is at to the point of failure it look like the crown of the lifters is intact, but can't tell for sure.

I just don't thing this is were the noise is coming from...........I do suspect, as u do that the lifter preload is, at least, some of the problem

Yes, it is a stroker engine... but another thing I worry about is that it has a Eagle cast crank. I have heard they suck, so I kind of fear pushing to much.
Also like I say... Would the stock rockers be o..k with the 60404. I just thought maybe that would be to much lift?

I thing the biggest question is retainer to guide clearance in other words it may have to much lift.........something to worry about after we find the cause.....
