Darryl Gald you worked it out for the cam problem. If you have a air compressor at home it is easy for you to remove the dampeners for breakin. Pressurize the cylinder. KD make a spring compressor that works fine for doing this. Tap on the top of the valve before you put the valve spring compresser on to loosen the locks for the valve. tighen compressor and use a MAGNET to remove the retainers for the valve. remove the dampener from the inside and reassembly it If you have set the rockers up already for clearance, you should be OK. You would have to talk to George or Keith but alot of us use scrapers and windage trays and this stops the
oil from spinning up and hitting the cam and bottom of the lifters. For chevy's they have a tool that puts a .010 groove in the lifter bore to help oiling for the cam and lifter contact patch. I was looking at a spray bar to do the same thing. I have Hydro roller for my next motor but don't see how they are putting
oil into the roller bearings. They have a pin hole that sits center of the body and puts
oil on the roller wheel. Idle is very tough on any motor with heavy duty valve springs sharp ramps on the cam. Guy get lazy with solids and do'nt keep them adjusted all the time and damage happens. Hydro are the way to go for a street motor. Change the trans ratios or the rear gears to work with the power window of the motor. Rick Lake
