Default Re: Comp Elite Race Series Lifter Axles walking out?

I hope Kevin doesn't mind this follow up. I had a couple of PM's with Kevin about the problem and my strongest suggestion was to check for some sort of alignment problem, esp lifter bore. He blued the cam and checked the roller pattern, no problems there. Kevin talked with a couple of knowledgeable people and figured out it was an alignment problem. Not bad parts, just parts with the wrong off set that created a pushrod alignment problem. Kevin was smart enough to do some cad drawings and figure it out. Side load to the lifters can be death to any companies good parts.
Please keep in mind It is easy to blame parts, but sometimes a little in depth study of the problem will reveal the real issue is not even associated with the failed parts.
