Well, I shoulda know better. After putting my trickflow heads/roller rockers on, I now get a clatter out of #8 once the engine warms up. I know the rockers aren't loose, so a lifter must be crapping out. Anyone had this problem? Also, what is a good replacement to get that can take the extra spring pressure? Thanks, Will

Just get some stock replacements. I got some an they run just fine with my vic jr heads. It's probably just the high miles that killed yours.

It only has about 37,800 miles right now, but I guess they must've gotten weakened with age. If stocker's will work, I'll get them though. Thanks, Will

Thanks for the offer t-moss, but its away for the winter. Since a couple have gone though, I expect the rest to not be far behind so when i do it, im going to do them all. I just wondered if there were any that are better than the stockers. The offer is much appreciated though! This is why :SNSign: Rocks. Thanks for the replies, and the offer. See ya, Will
