Well I have an update to my lifter / build issues. Since my last post I verified some torques throughout the motor and all looked good. To go along with that the builder has been in touch with me just about every other day. He came to the shop and picked up the motor and tracked down a lifter with the proper clearance. They are Crower sportsman series the only issue now is I need push rods. The adjusters had 5 threads out. I could see kicking push rods so, new rods on the way... So, as a note when using the BME aluminum RB block the tall Crower lifters will work. Should only be a couple weeks till I get to hear this thing run!
