Yeah... good stuff on this thread listening to DRT, RK & Zip. Although I don't race or run alky, it is good stuff. I am trying more to understand this comment Zip said: (bear w/ me... I still have a lot to learn).
"but i do, is grind a .002 X 1/16"W flat on the top side of the roller lifter in the lower half of the lifters to oil the rollers, that way the rollers get more oil" I am trying to visualize it exactly. No harm done in doing this to a street motor right?
One more question about lifters & roller set ups: Zip said this: "i'm not running any hydraulic cam on any racing engine. I have all roller setups, except i do have a prostreet 406 with a solid lift cam".
A solid cam set up (I only have had one) is different than Hydraulic... but on your roller motors Zip... aren't they solid roller cams?? or am I confused? What makes a "roller motor" different than a motor with a solid cam w/ rollers... or is there a difference?
