Thanks for your input, I respect your opinions and will go ahead and buy new lifters, Lord knows I don't want to go through another engine build, one's enough! I will email you some specs of the valvetrain & heads I got, hopefully this engine will be fast AND reliable, cheap isn't an option anymore ;D

Thanks again Ralph
