Thanks, Juan. I had considered something off the shelf as a 'kit' from one of the major manufacturers but the recent spate of 'cam failures' are likely due to poor cores from the foundry so I contacted a regional company I've had great results from in the past. He had an old school core on the shelf & we settled on a reasonable street grind. He gave me a couple companies for lifters & Howards was one of them. I like what I've been able to read about Howards & thought I'd give them a try as others seemed happy with their purchases. Steve & 'Psycho pretty much confirmed what I was feeling. But, yeah, "improper break-in" is always out there. Try & stay cool, keep the combustibles away from the house & shop!
Will do. Thanks.
