X3 on unnecessary. Might be time to point out that the lifter braces are not a quick bolt-in item. They have to be fitted to the lifter bore exteriors, and while the braces are nicely finished, the block is not. So be prepared to spend a lot of time grinding away on the braces to obtain a close fit. Then mix up the epoxy and slather on to fill in the remaining gaps that will still be there no matter how much time you spend on fitment. Then be prepared to crank down the brace bolts while sliding a lifter in the bore to insure you don't over-tighten and make the bore out of round. All this might be worth it when you have radical roller lobes acting like a baseball bat to the roller, and really a wasted exercise when dealing with a mild lift cam.
