For what its worth regarding the Morel's and noise.. I bought some Morel 4603's from Eddie maybe 2 years ago or so (and this post is nothing against Eddie, just Morel information) and they rattled from day one on the dyno. I thought the guy that put my motor together was the problem, then a year later I had another reputable builder go thru it. He said the lifters looked fine mechanically, but did fix up my valve train geometry slightly. They still rattled.

This year I put in Johnson lifters, and I haven't heard a peep. Totally quiet valve train. FYI-

yeah....Johnson swears that their Hydro Rollers would work with my setup...but I don't think Eddie was 100% convinced. Regardless, we are going solid roller.....and will just have to re-lash from time to time.

That's the plan....but the effing weather appears to be shaping up to be a blow job.....FTL. Ill be over at Rock Lane on my Sea Ray....drunk...and most likely naked....wearing only Roller Skates and wrist bands. Swing by if you got the time man.

Will do, suppose to meet Bill R for the first time, he's gotta a TG and lived on the lake for a while, looks like I got out of KC just in time, nasty TStorms, sirens going off, send me a text, I got a new phone and ATT F'd up the transfer and I lost all my history

Eddie is a great mechanic. Great on helping everyone out. BUt honestly he lost me here. Solids are great for racing but hydraulics are drivability. IMO. I would set 32 lifters once in awhile if i had too. I really don't think you have to.
