Default Re: Flat tappet lifter failure

OK the spring pressure needed is a result of lobe profile (yes there are also some other factors). Do all brands have this same problem to the same degree, or is it more a function of lifter diameter? The larger the lifter diameter the greater the max velocity the lobe profile can have. If this is the case then MoPars would have less problems than GM with Ford in the middle.
