barry

you are so right. the wear is on the backside of the lobes, i had taken it for granted that wear would be on the front side. i'll have to look into a better set of springs for the otc afr205s. i guess i might be able to run the cam without a regrind now.

interesting what you said about the synthetic oil, i had always wondered about that, especially with the flat tappet stuff.

Are yours the "Red Zone" ?

Can you decribe more detail with these lifters ?
I'm going to use these.

lifters are as above, i just checked the rollers and they all look good with no axle play that i could tell. i think they might be on the small side, measuring .8736-.8737. maybe others measure different, but keep that in mind. for the beating the cam took +50 hrs of engine time, they don't look too bad.
