Good luck, Cumberland is coming in 2 weeks. That means you have a little over a week to get it figured out.

Got ahold of Johnson HyLift who actually manufactured the lifter and they are going to send me a new metering disc. Talk about awesome customer service right there!

Here is a great document for reference btw this applies to both BBC and SBC...
