Solid roller cam Vs Hyd flat tappet

Yes, I agree. Unless he's very careful. Maybe he can latch onto a friend or nearby member here who is more versed and can help him.
or just swap the valve springs. it's not like the heads even need to come off to do that either. it's a no brainer surely?
i mean, how much is a set of springs compared to a roller can setup? he already has a cam and lifters that were fine up to now so reuse them and swap the springs in the new heads. and accept that he made a mistake but it won't happen again. why make that mistake even more expensive than it needs to be?
neil.
