Message: [QUOTE="tbsimmons, post: 1228767, member: 2026"] On his old set up I dont think it was that. I have given Eric my opinion on what occurred but in short this is what I think might have happened. 1. Solid lifters and no way to adjust them other than push rod length. Even if they set them at say .002 or tighter then the engine heated up. Everything expanded and hung a valve. No way to adjust when hot. 2. Valve springs were way to strong for what he was running. More wear on the rockers. One let loose and the lifter cam out of the bore, no oil pressure. I never got a number from anyone on what they were or the lift at the valve. I think the cams and the lifts seen on these trucks we dont need a lot of spring pressure on the seat. 3. Lost oil pressure in the top end because of running solids. Everytime I have or seen someone use solids you have to put orfices in the block instead of plugs in the oil ports. If this was not done then too much oil went through the lifters got below the pickup and lost pressure. [/QUOTE]
