Questions

1. True....but also remember, when you lose a roller lifter, you'll probably wipe the cam also, as I've done the last 2yrs...that's why I'm running what I am now.

2. True...because you can use more aggressive ramps.

3. True...but need less adjustments than what? I use a jesel rocker system, set it once and never worry again...

4. Don't know for sure....you use the softer gear on the distributor, and replace the dist gear when needed. Even if it lasts for 12,000 miles...how many miles do you put on a year. I do believe any cam can be made with a cast gear, you just have to call cam maker and order it....if the billet is in stock, they can grind it for you in a day...if not you may have to wait a few weeks.

5. True..nothing else needs to be said on this, unless you have a new engine, then the rings still need to be seated
