Don't think cams don't go flat with tool steel.

Yes Jim You are right Cams will still go flat with tool steel!!!!!!!!!! I give up. I guess we need rollers I am at a dead end street. I just hurt the motor with bad lifters again.

[Larry Hill]

Sammy don't tell me that.

Larry,

If Sammy won't confirm the facts I will.. Every solid lifter regardless of material is JUNK.

Let's put it this way. It has sent my 396/375 program nothing but backwards. It's not the money in parts that it cost when you have a failure, it's the TIME it takes for recovery....If you have a lifter/cam failure, even if you could pay the parts damage in cast,in full, upon diagnosis- it's the TIME LOSS and the grief factor alone that money can't buy, and I never saw the day that money could purchase time at any price!

Hey- it wasn't me that opened the door to the changes in the duration, spring pressure rule

My opinion is- follow the path of engine safety, ie; roller rockers, etc. No matter what we do, ,assuming the cam lift specs remain the same- which they will, it's still NO WHERE near the cost of running a competitive SS car so please; racers who think the opposite to be true-please stop telling the rest of us to go race SS.

A new cam and set of lifters is cheap by comparison..and there is no advantage to anyone except the cars that already have roller lifters NOT to change the rule.

Sammy have you just tried breaking the cam in like we used too? I how, but some time we need to step back and start over, tool steet lifters, coated and 200 + seat pressure.Even the Nascar guy s are having problems and they barley run 200 seat pressure. Or did something else happen.

[Gregg Luneack]

Rule should be changed to make roller lifters optional.

[Dan Fahey]

How about a rule like.....max 150lbs seat pressure!

[Billy Nees]

There ya go! And at the same time, it would make all of those 396/375 Comp motors more like Stocker motors again!
