Bumping this back to the top because I want to talk cams again. Broke in this cam in december last year. Being finishing the car so I haven't done much except a couple of light hole shots in the street, but the cam has gone flat on me. Comp XE294H flat tappet. I am going to try and get comp to replace it but I am not sure if they will since it has been over a year since I purchased it and I failed to remove the inner valve spring for breakin like they recconmended. If they won't replace my cam I would like to go roller this time with similar specs so I know my springs and clearances are ok (.588int .593ext), but I am not familar with roller cams. Is there lifters that will work without having to do any machining?

Almost all the high quality valvetrain companies offer drop in roller lifters for BBC.

Any shelf lifter will work. I use the Comp 819-16 lifters in my last 2 motors.
