Sorry. A little more info. I have the plate, roller lifters, and cam all as a kit from Randy.

When the lifter is at its lowest point, the lifter is below the plate and there is nothing physical to keep it from spinning. I spun a lifter in its bore slightly to see if it would self correct as it traveled up the lobe and if it is off axis enough, it will bind on the bottom of the guide plate. My concern is what would prevent the lifter from wanting to spin at the bottom of its travel. They stay true spinning the motor by hand but in use I would imagine the forces and momentums at play are different.

I just want to make sure everything is correct before firing anything up.

Thanks grivera for the info about possibly needing to do a little grinding for final fitting. A little fitting on #3 will allow me to get more uniform results across the plates.

I'll try to get some video's tomorrow to better explain what I'm seeing.
