Jad, thanks for hanging with me on this. (1) I have full time oiling to the heads & I drilled the setscrews to .080". If you want more or less than that let me know & I will drill em out further or get new setscrews & drill em smaller (2) I was thinking that you and Yellow Rose wanted me to plug the offset hole(s) with lead shot & drill a new one(s) in line with the valve tip (the drill bit pic) with the valve closed, correct/clarify me on that. (3) I had rockers that already had the top brazed shut and the hole under the arm on the valve tip side (drill bit pic) drilled to .100". You wanted 1/8 so I am going to open em up a hair to that per your direction. (5) I am not useing a hyd lifter on a solid cam (the ramp issue I understand), I am using a hyd lifter locked solid into a solid lifter on a solid cam & now that you mention that I will replace the wimpy retainer rings with good clips. (6) good to hear that (1) thread is good. (7) I feel lucky! Holler back when you can. EDIT yes hi vol pump/ 5/8 ID pickup/plumbing 1/2 NPT pipes, wish my camera was functioning!, extensive mods head to toe
