By the way "s nichols", knowing the precision that went into the original manufacturing of these engines, that's a real good tip!

Not sure what you are referring to as "heavy" lifters as all the adjustables are heaver than the originals. There are solid adjustable lifters and hollow adjustable lifters. The hollows are lighter than the solids. Red's sells the hollow ones.

You obviously haven't purchased an Iskendarian "cam and kit" lately; They come with the solid heavy lifters.

Not what I was referring to, but still thanks for the response. To me you could take the term heavy two ways, the heavier of the adjustables (solid vs hollow) or any adjustable vs original. Maybe using the term heavy to refer to solid adjustable lifters is a common term, I just have not heard it used that way. I'm currently using an Isky cam, BUT cam only, not the cam/kit.

Note: Just went back and read the post, he did say "came with the cam", got it. I'm not a fan of the solid adjustables anyway, so I'll remember that is what Isky provides. I like the ones Reds sells anyway, so not much chance of purchasing them from Isky!
