Sorry to see this and why I went roller and never looked back.......the guys that tell ya it's a hassle to keep em lashed or whatever are probably the same ones who say EFI is easier and less work than a carb........DO IT and you will love it but I'd go solid.......... beer


it was a solid, going back solid roller

What brand cam? How aggressive are the lobes? Was the cam nitrided, as well as used with tool steel EDM lifters?


Howards cam .875 lobe,very mild.
no nitride.
