If this is a Center Oiler, it's a solid lifter motor. I had mine stroked and rebuilt by Keith Craft and the cam was a special grind from Comp. The lifters are Comp Endurex roller lifters. Break in is key for the first few hundred miles and re-torquing everything and checking valve lash is essential. You will want to do the valve lash every 2500 to 3000 miles after break in. My engine has settled down nicely and it's rare that the valve lash changes these days. Keith and Shelley were great to deal with and would never send out an engine with a dyno sheet from some other engine! My own experience with Lance, before he bought it and was just working there was not so good but I never thought he was dishonest.

Good luck

Tim
