Oh, sorry. I meant the oiling mod. That looks like a fairly simple job I could do in the garage. I don't think I have any oiling problems now. But you don't really find those kinds of problems until something goes, Boom!
The lifter bushing, OTOH, would definately required a skilled machinist with specialized equipment. That is something I would not consider doing on my own.
As for the lifters themselves, I'm using Comp Cams hydraulic short travel lifters and beehive springs with a slightly higher rate. The engine easily runs to 6,500 rpm's.
Every year I consider solid lifters, just for the fun of it. But, so far, I haven't done it. I think at the last minute my smart brain over rides my crazy brain, and I stick with what works.
