Crowers I ran in my Scarab were a 66331-16,HYD roller, I paid WD 275.00 jobber 344.back then.There a lot higher now.

I just got a set of Isky Red Zone tight lash lifters with captive guide bars from Bob Madera. I dont know what they cost me yet, but they look like quality parts. I engine is going back in Monday. With any luck, things will work out.

Call RMbuilder, he will explain the lastest and greatest from Isky. EZ wheels.. no needle bearings. I am hoping this will be a huge step in the right direction..
I ordered a set for my motor, just like Check454. But my motor wont be in till after this next weekend it looks like. Have to order push rods this morning..

I had problems with mine, and no one has given me a solid explantion as to why. I suspect too heavy a push rod (11.100" x 7/16") and not enough spring. Others tell me too much spring.
The EZ wheel bearings held up fine, but for some reason the cam and lifter wheels were eaten up on 5 lobes. I did manage to hit 87.7mph on the gps (4.1mph gain) even with 5 bad lobes. Three had .045" lash.
I still loose sleep at nite thinking about how to solve this problem. I seem to burn up cams rather quickly in this motor, 11.665" deck ht..

Dick and I got our Red Zone lifters at the same time this past summer. After his failure, I was very concerned about the conditon of my lifters. This fall, when I brought the boat home, I pulled the lifters, they look like new. I am running a smaller cam, standard deck block, less spring pressure. We have discussed his problem several times and cant come up with a solid answer as to what caused the failure.
