So...after losing a couple of lifters last year- pushrods popped through the disc on a couple of my old Comp lifters- and bending a couple pushrods, I upgraded to a set of Ferrea tool steel lifters and .145 wall chromoly pushrods. Sure enough, in spite of a diligent lifter break-in I appear to have wiped a couple of lobes. Again. The lash was still where I had set it before we went to the track, yet when relashing tonight, I discovered that one exhaust was only opening just over .400" and another was even worse.
So. It's roller time. Does anyone make a small block roller lifter that literally drops in to a non-bushed block? There are two Comp Cams grinds that would allow me to use my current springs and rockers without using up my valve-piston clearance.
Aaaaaargh!
