Probably like the one's he sold a member here. Sold him top of the lime Morels for a big solid roller in a near 600" blown motor and they broke. When we got the pics of the blown up lifters/motor, we noticed they where the cheap street solid rollers. Feet at the axles spread and stuck in the bores. Broke the motor.

He blamed the engine owner and builder for not noticing during assembly. The lifters came in a unlabeled brown box so how would they know.

Ahh...the street lifters with the 700 wheels

not sure,I was out for a surgery and Tom the owner was contacted by ctroll.usually we buy isky rollers but were sold these "marine special" lifters and guaranteed they'd work.well I came back and fired up a motor and thats when I noticed no oil to the rocker arms.turned out I had to cut a groove up the lifter to contact the oil gallery.ctroll took a its your fault attitude.If he was in front of me when he said that,,well ,there'd be some problems for him.
we've built mre than 500 engines and this was the only time we've seen this problem.
then we had him cut us some marine cams for a blown 540,,lets just say the boat went slower than before.

ctroll hope we'll forget.not gonna happen,and we will rimind everyone of the facts that he's a liar and a story teller,just so he can try and look authentic.

Bill stated he is not an employee of a shop and now your saying he is not in business for himself. Interesting.

Sure call me and I will send you a call tag for the am and refund you. Number is 423 391 7774

ctroll,once again you useless wast of dna,trying to start something thats not there.

go make up a story and post it so we can pick you apart again,,you fraud.

Damn now its gone from 2 blower engines to 5. Bill any engine builder knows there are series of lifters. Price dictates what they want to use. Morel at that time had the 4606, similar to the Pro Series Crane, and the 4845, similar to the Crane Ultra Pro.. Both lifters are in use today. We have a set of AFR heads hear at the shop. Marine build, 540, that was done 7 years ago. My cam and a set of 4606. It has 280hrs on these lifters no issue. I have 2 sets of 4845 that were sent in for rebuild. Not my cams and I did not sell the customer these Morels. They have someone elses name on the tie bar. Marine builds, na, 300 + hours. Point is Bill the lifters although 2 different series are used in Drag, Marine, Truck Pull, Circle track. The lifter has no idea what it is going to be used for. It wasn't the lifters issue of lack of oil Bill.

I've got great customers and they are all good people. You calling them names will ever concrete the idea of you never being in business for yourself. You don't treat people you don't know like that.

Scott,
B2B ordered lifters from me. I drop shipped the lifters to the engine builder. I was billed by Morel for the lifters. LIfters did not come here. The engine builder was a customer. He ordered both 4606 and 4845 from me. Your wrong, it is there responsibility to verify that they got the right parts. The bill from morel to me was for 4845s. I sent a copy of the Morels invoice to B2B.

Morel at that time did not have the street solid roller lifter. The street solid roller is an encapsulated lifter with a .700" wheel. The body of the lifter covers most of the wheel. The lifters available at that time were the 4606 and 4845 in .842" +.300" tall.

Scott the last line of QC is the engine builder. Check clearances and verify parts is part of engine building.

Morel lifters still come in a kraft box today from some companies. This has not changed.

Bill,
Coughlin called me Bill. Modifying lifters in the manner you are speaking is a patch for improper lifter bore clearances. I gone over this with John Callies on several occausions. Grooving the lifters or grooving the bores, Comp has tool for doing this to the lifter bores. If the bores are not correct when measured during pre assembly then this process can be preformed. That is engine building 101. I'm glad you posted that about grooving the lifter bore after the fact and you have it in writing now.
