Reply #1 – June 06, 2006, 03:29:11 PM The picture is a little small for me to tell 100%, but I have a few questions....How many miles are on it?What kind of rocker arms and ratio were the rocker arms used?Is it local to you where you could get a micrometer on it?If not will the current owner do so if you ask?

Reply #3 – June 06, 2006, 09:19:15 PM anywhere where you have 2 metals contacting for an extended period of time you will get wear weather its a flat tappet or a roller. the oil helps keep the roller from damaging the cam lobe but it will still wear over time. if its cheap enough get it and mic it:D Quote Selected
