That is some collection of stuff right there!!
Is that four boxes of tipped radius lifters? I see the slots in the front three packs?
Question for Pete here,
those lifters the "tipped" one's, you've stated in earlier posts that welding on the lifters is a big no no. And that the needed length should be added to the valve stem. I've seen in old books and magazines pics of these lifters, with that added on pad on the top. Were these pads welded on? Or some other process? Did these lifters have issues?
Look forward to you thoughts on this.
Thanks,
Martin.
Sorry for hijack, but I feel relevant.
