At this point, he needs to cut a few open...
I totally agree, Joe. We can talk about it 'til we're blue but the evidence will speak for itself. Three sets of hydraulic rollers from three different manufacturers is not simply coincidence or bad luck. Each set ran just fine for about 300 miles. Each time they failed, only a few were still good.
When his first set went bad I asked him to open them. He refused to believe his guru builder (a Chevy engine builder) would or could have made a mistake. So, he kept buying more sets of lifters as they failed (@ $600/set). The fourth set should arrive today. - Dave
