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.

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.

If so, feel free to keep speaking your peace here.
He had done same thing here in the boat boards until everyone figured him out and then finally spoke up. Onlike other performance arena's, he is known for that schit in this arena.
Why he keeps coming back after leaving for better part of a year ? We dunno. Too dumb to stay away I guess.

Even a magazine noticed how bad his cams are and put it into print. Priceless.
So much for him telling others it's just a group on OSO that are against him.
Lost 800rpm and almost 10mph. And he charges most people around $700 for a HR cam.
See the specs on that whacked out cam. Normal for him, but brutal in reality.

Yes I know c-blob on a couple of automotive forums. I ignore him when he is bedazzling people with his B.S. trying to sell something. I apologize to all you boat guys trying be a part of this great thread. A friend of mine read this stuff and called me and said "wow those guys see chris for what he really is". He knows of a couple of big blocks that chris ruined.

So this has been some fun reading (as I do not have a dog in this fight) but I do feel bad for those who have been misinformed by the guest of honor in this thread. It seem that those who seek honest advise get hooked up with people who know little about the High Perf game so sorry to see But I don't understand how it perpetuates? I feel very fortunate that my mentors were among the best in the biz.
