Question how much would I be losing , was this why the motor was a turd ?
I would say that the only way to answer that question would be to make a couple of dyno pulls with the "old" lifter setup, and then a couple more with the "new" setup. The other question you would certainly want answered is are the three cylinders with "small" lifters in them small in BORE diameter, or are the lifters themselves just too small for the bores (which are the same as the other five cylinders). In other words, do you have variety in lifter bore diameters, or just lifters that are floppy loose in correct diameter bores?
