Just be careful with those I had a bad experience with them breaking . Costed me an engine.  Unless they've changed them, the pin that holds the roller in place broke which  pushed the retainer and let the locks release which dropped the valve. Wasn't running anything wikd, only had .501 lift cam at the time. I learned the hard way never go cheap on valve train its very important. Not trying to give you a scare just sharing some info .

Thx for sharing CDR  :2thumbs:

I love reading up on engine builds as i enjoy the technical aspect of what goes into a quality build and doing things right way.
I hope to challenge myself one day to a rebuild and get the satisfaction of knowing exactly what went into the motor.

Keep up the good work mate.

Cheers A  :cheers:

Wow Charlie.  Just ran across this thread.  Didn't realize how far along you were on the new engine..  Fired up yet?  Are you going to set up bleachers for the first outing??
