Well........these didn't last long at all.
All 16 are toast in about 200 street miles...... With no WOT blasts yet.


Obviously, the bodies like the ones we're dealing with aren't a retrofitted BBC body, as the lack of oil band i think would block/severely restrict the oil flow in a BBC block.

I don't know why they dont all get the oiling like the ones in the pic of your actual BBC set.
That really seems like the best solution to me.

A final decision won't be made until after we hear what Isky has to say, but at this point I'd say it's very unlikely bushed lifters with this oiling set-up will end up back in the motor.
