The parts from Randy are un modified at this point. Its the dog bones that I have modified to get them to fit my block.
I've got the dog bones fitted now so that they are centered between the pair of lifters. There is no way that the dog bones can rise off the top of the lifter bores with the plate in place. With the Ford Spider I could see how the dog bone could ride up and or rock between the lifters. The bottoms of my dog bones are under cut and the top of the lifter has about .005 clearance between the top of the lifter flats and the bottom of the dog bone.
I'll try to get some better pics out as soon as I can showing what has been done.
I've got a PM to Randy asking for a phone call so hopefully we can sort out why I have no contact between the plate and the lifter, when the lifter is at the bottom of its travel.
