The Comp Cams SBF dog bones have 5/32" clearance from the bottom to the lip that rides on the lifter flats. My HT2148 lifters raised the unmachined portion ~1/8", like JC455/Crawdaddy had measured on page 11, giving me 1/32" clearance. No movement on my unmodified dog bones so looks like my set up will work.
For my project, I wanted to do exactly what Jim originally had done. Other steps kind of negated the purpose of the SBF spider retrofit to begin with and might as well go with the link-bars for all the additional hassle.
Is anyone tacking the two separate sections of the spider together to stop any potential twisting? This would be an area of concern for me.
