RE: I

my cam...

question...i have the springs the cam card suggests...but i am using stock lifters...

i just got home from phoenix and started messin with it again...remember the oiling issue...

would the stock lifters be able to handle the valve springs...could the valve springs be to haevy on the stock springs and collapsein them while it;s runnin?

just a thoguht...

Why are you using stock lifters? I thought performance cams come with new lifters, mine did.

New lifters should have been installed with a new cam.

they are new lifters...the cam didn;t come with any...

You dont want to use your old lifter on a new cam. They are already warn from your old cam. Get new ones or you may cause damage to the new cam.

i just got off the phone with them....gave the m the part numbers of the cam and springs i used...apparently my lifters are goin to be ok but the retainers for the springs are incorrect...so i had to order some new retainers...

i'm not sure how that is hindering my oil though...
