Unfortunately, that's how they come stock. Some guys just put the angle in it, but that just brings the front of the pickup closer to the pan. Better off using an aftermarket pickup designed to be...

Actually, that is not true. Seat pressure doesn't hurt lobes, as the lifter is on the base of the lobe when it sees it. Spring controls the valve, how it reacts to lobe intensity, and should always...

In simple terms, yes, it is fine to put new lifters on a used camshaft. I strongly recommend you bleed the new lifters as they are usually filled with machine oil... so much so the plunger doesn't...

For all intensive purposes at that level, a spring setup for one flat tappet grind, will work on most others. Personally, i don't feel the spring is an issue, more so the huge step down in valve...

Anytime the guide is being cut for a newer style seal, the height should be cut as well. Not just the O.D. at the top, for this reason. On a side note, I would strongly recommend jacketed Viton seals...

Either block will do the job. We do a lot of these, for many different applications, but the most popular one uses Edelbrock D-ports and a hydraulic roller in the 400 blocks. Either route you go, a...

The "+.300" taller" is just the link bar area of the lifter. Not the body itself. It is done for the sole purpose of clearing taller lifter bosses, just like Dart did to the Chevrolet blocks. Oil...

It's common to see that stuff, regardless of brand. Problem running it? Not that I have seen. Just looks ugly.

A profile more suited to the application and rpm range. In YOUR engine, with 9.5 compreasion and those lobes, that 112 is hurting you. With Edelbrock heads , a single pane and 10.5 compression, it...

Most usually don't when they don't have enough experience to be able to make those decisions. No offense, of course.

Air bleeds, unlike jets, do not respond very well with minimal changes. .002" in an air bleed will usually convince most people it had no effect. Just something to keep in mind. Pay close attention...

You may find it will need to be bigger on the idle bleed. Application specific of course, but 46's are my starting point in any dominator I build, and are often left there. The idle bleeds directly...

Either will work fine. Never had any issue with hurting springs, sounds like an unrelated issue. The Assassin bars have more adjustment holes, but DO hang lower in the car.

Non issue regardless of crank material. However on Cast cranks, I do prefer P series, H series on Forged if using Clevites.

Yes, you can shim it a bit to preload the lifter a little more and help quiet it down. Non adjustable valvetrains rely on pushrod length for preload, with a given lifter height and rocker arm. If any...

.050"-.060" from bind is perfectly fine and preferred. Between .050" and .100" is ok. Over .100" and that spring wants to do the chicken dance and things start to get wonky.

What they mean by "pushing the limits" is you can only remove so much volume in the crown for a specific piston design. Big dish in a smaller diameter with a high pin and ring land leads to trouble....
