I suppose I am very late to this game - but I wasn't aware of the lifter quality problems until just very recently (and have now gone back and read through the archives). My engine is/was 100% ready to install and break in this weekend, but can't risk the new engine to questionable lifters.
I have the #73 webcam with matching lifters (yes, the 2 piece versions). So now I'm on the waiting list for a set of ceramics from Charles Navarro. Down side is it will be at least a month before getting them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Crap like this makes me want to buy a Miata. So much for this autox season........ Demick P.S. On the bright side, I'm thankful that people like Charles are even around to supply us with quality parts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) |

I didnt order anything else from him.. they better be what you described. I just received them 3 weeks or so ago. I help him out the best I can with product info and test cases.. I would like to think he show's me/us some favoritism.
I personally dont think he has sold the machine in type for at least 9-10 months or so. B |
