The six cyl approach sounds good. Can you send a pic of them showing the split bolt? Also, what needs to be done in the machine shop? I have been experimenting with lock nuts like most all adjustables have had for years. I bought a box of 100 fine thread lock nuts and found that if I shave 1/8"off the top of the lifter and reduce the locknut to 1/8", I have a workable solution. I'm not thrilled about having a shortened lifter body, but when a cam with some lift is involved I think the full locknut can be used as is and possibly no material removed from the lifter body. I have yet to test my 1/8" thick jamb nut with a torque wrench and see how it holds up. With a regular box wrench it seems I can crank really tight.
