good info rick, especially the fire bottle!!!!!!!

that is one big pickle fork!!!! like it!!!

had one of the flat tappet lifters sticking and looked at the bore and couldn't tell why, everything looked good and the measurement was good. i think i'm going back to the solid roller, the exz lifters are a little smaller in diameter and slide with no problem although one was sticking a little also so i'm thinking the flat tappet might have had problems. i have a hone but i don't want to take everything apart or clean the passages again this far into it. was looking for a friendlier version of a street racer with the hyd flat tappet that i had but i guess i'll shelve that for now. i don't know why the lifters would not slide freely cause there was no rust or contaminate and the measurement was good, maybe the bore wasn't straight, i don't know. anyway, you guys were scaring me with all the flat cam talk. thanks to mr. jesel the changeover was easy.

oh well, more power is not a bad thing!!! but i admit, i have a problem with speed.

there's some good info here.
