I just did some research but I don't know if you still having valve float problems.


No valve float problems... Turns out the lifters were bleeding down on me because the oil had gotten too diluted with gas from idling the car around on the stock tune....

Flushing the oil out a couple of times by running some really thin 0WT synthetic and then going back with my regular 15W40 oil solved the bleed down problem.

Mikes cam will run no doubt about it. It was just a PITA to get the valve control side sorted with these 1.7 rockers.

FYI, I think that Dart SHP block has taller lifter bores. If it's the block I'm thinking about, you have to run .325 tall lifters in them. Morel and Comp are the only people who make hyd roller bodies that tall.
