Money vs Horsepower

If the oil holes weren't drilled in the lifter bushings before being installed I don't think you'll be able to drill them. Run the solid flat tappet, sell what you have. Sorry though the cam is kind of small for me. I'm still thinking about the lifters but you might be able to make a better deal with someone as a package. If you don't sell them let me know. I don't need them right now so it's not a big deal but having spares is always a good idea.

I'd be willing to bet that a guy could put the holes in with the kit for the R-3's
My block wasn't drilled so I used it and got creative with the drill.....the fixture is set up for a 3/16ths bit , but I took a #2 center drill to start them and finished with a .093 ( 3/32 " ) and it worked like a champ.
The fixture will drop in a .904 bore and the geometry should be close from the top of the bushing compared to the top of the taller R-3 lifter boss.
