I couldn't hep myself.

BTW Jamo, I had the engine rebuilt 3 years ago and went with a flat tappet like yourself. Great performance and no worries since it was broken in on an engine dyno by the builder.

I developed a bad case of cold piston slap with the race pistons and we rebuilt it again with JE pistons and the builder decided it needed a little more umph, so he installed a Crower solid roller (mild lift for street) with the severe duty lifters. Well, I love the engine now, but I am a little concerned about reliability.

Time will tell.
