Can you read what I said so to SPEAK was it that hard for you to figure out what I was talking about. LMAO

Again having a lifter bores off any amount will not affect seat timing events on a flat tappet build it can't because the cam is riding on the convex surface of the lifter.

Hope I explained it so you can understand LOL

How come they call them flat tappets ??????????????????????????? LOL
