Questions on lifter bore correction

Mike, thanks for the info. sounds like a good thing that guy brought his motor to you.
Bill, thanks. about 6500-6700 rpm. I'll look close at valve-train geometry for rocker arm location and push rod length. Just trying to plan for how much bang for the buck. I understand that it all really depends on the lifter bore location error though.

I have always had the lifter bores corrected in my engines. You can use a lifter tru and install bushings with the stock lifter diameter. Then you hone them to fit the lifters perfectly. You can also replace the bushings if you need to down the road.
