I just put in new Johnson lifters along with a new cam. Lifters were stock spec replacement for the GM lifters and cam is a crane 741. 3/4 turn after zero lash. No issues as of yet. Hope you get this solved sooner than later.

Thanks. Paying someone to re-do everything. Sweet. The lifter company isn't paying for any labor. Shocker.

They going to reimburse you for the lifters? Btw keep us informed on what you end up with as well as the outcome.

Good luck and sorry for your troubles.

My like above is actually I understand and right with you. Been in these situations a couple too many times.

Every year I had wished GM would make a bad azz HR lifter for the BBC's like they do for the sbc. Cherry on top is the GM SBC lifters are cheap.
