Overlap Triangle

I also forgot to ask if you have cylinder heads have 5/16 or 3/8 rocker shaft bolts. If you only have 5/16 bolts I would chose less aggressive lobes that also had lift between .620-.640 just to help reduce stress on the bolts.

I finished tearing the engine down. Seems like losing a bronze gear plays hell with everything. I’ll be sending my block to the machine shop this week. One thing I’m confused by is a local engine builder suggested that I go from a solid roller back to a solid flat tappet cam. Isn’t this like taking a step backwards?
I was taken back by that suggestion.
