Unfortunately they are waiting on the manufacturer for them, ETA 3-4 weeks. If you want them get on the list now! |

They are very pricy...more than I paid for my pistons. What are the benifits if I am not doing the cam? Perhaps I should bite the bullet and do the cam too?

Right now we're having major issues with lifters.
Ceramics are the only sure thing and you can change the cam at a later date (i.e. performance cam) and reuse them. Jake is working on new lifters but they're a ways off yet. You can get a cam and lifters from Webcam or aircooled.net and they will cover the cam/lifters (not anything else) if they fail. I have not seen their lifters, but Jake does not like the design. |

aircooled.net no longer has their cam/lifter warranty...
Lifters these days are horrible, and I have spent a tremendous amount of money/time on my fixture to test cams/lifters/and processes. Ceramic lifters are worth 3 times their cost, trust me. |

Yes...it apears to be the only way to go. I spoke to LNE and visited the website. I will be using the ceramic lifters and ARP head studs so I can go in at a later date when I am ready.

QUOTE(seanery @ Jun 10 2004, 02:18 PM) personally, why not spend the extra $150 and do the cam now? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I was thinking the same thing Sean... I know I would not want to get everything together, and then decide in 6 months "hmm... I shoulda changed that cam while I was in there..." maybe that's just me... |
