Well I don't think this was a street cam despite the conservative lift so since I need to get this together and can't afford to waste a $450 lifter set I wussed out and ordered a hydraulic roller from Utawesome Performance. His grinds are the only ones I could find with more conservative lift figures for the 1.6 magnum rockers. Don't want to smash my valve seals or have some piston to valve intercourse.

BTW Marty at Utawesome was awesome. Great guy to deal with and he knows his magnums!
