that works well with solid type lifters - IE set lash -- hyd lifters sponge some of the cam lift with out oil pressure and i think its a hyd cam he dident say -- we always use a solid lifter when checking and his motor is together not easy with alloy heads getting a lifter in and out of dizy hole just to check -- but it can be done if he uses 7 or 8 to check it with -- jz
