well thats fine but call them and ask who makes the lifters for them. if they will tell you if not snap a photo .then i can tell you who may have made the lifters . i have some speed pros that may work fine for testing

they are the second one down.
i am still awaiting the arrival of my cam. i did instal some check springs and for the hell of it i checked the travel at tdc. 0.510 on intake and 0.340 on exhaust. so far it is looking good as long as with the cam the exhaust don't stay open for too long

that looks to be a isky lifter in photo .as for plunger height of roller lifter you can use any make roller lifter will work for PV checking if you have some adjustable pushrod checker .you should have them any way to get the rigth push rods at mild lift less they are selling you the right length push rods? i just check them at mild lift and buy trend push rods for the job

i have the matched pushrods coming for the cam. i do have length checkers and i'll be double checking them when i am sure of clearance. still waiting for the cam. its been two weeks now. i paid extra to get it here in 7-10 days. this is getting annoying. we have no good performance stores in calgary, alberta

Woo Hoo! i got my cam. it is in and i have one small issue. 0.005" small to be exact. my piston to valve clearance on exhaust is 0.331" LOTS. my intake on the other hand is 0.075". thats just not quite the 0.080" mark. will i be safe with that or should i move up to the 0.054" head gaskets instead of 0.039". please pat or tech inspector. tell me what you would do in my situation. my heads are still on at this moment. oh and it is straight up timing for the cam shaft.

you should be fine if all holes are that i runned them much closer

i checked three and one. one was the closer. 3 was 0.002" more space. so yay. i'm so happy. this has been ruining my sleep for two weeks almost
