Mark, I just watched the video, that motor sounds as good as it looks. That motor is an absolute monster!

I scanned your link, but honestly didn't read everything. But I did scan first

Can you tell me what kind of lifters you're using, and what the hot lash was set to?

Paying attention to aluminum block build stories, I've seen where the hot lash setting can basically vanish once the block heats up and expands, bending pushrods in the process.

Are you using hydraulic lifters?

Anyone else experienced this expansion problem, maybe while using solid lifters? What sort of work-around solution might there be for this issue?

Thanks

The motor has solid lifters set at .006 cold. I have 4000 miles on my motor with "0" problems.
