I think that you are right, microscopic pitting will start wear in a short time.
The poor flat tap pet cam is under enough pressure with double valve springs!
I must be getting old.The poor flat tap pet cam is under enough pressure with double valve springs!
I know Peter uses an IPad.
Yet it has taken me over an hour to realise that a flat tap pet cam.......

Apparently the whole stock of v8tuner's solid lifters are damaged the same as mine and he won't have any in for at least 2 weeks.
So will be ordering from elsewhere as I want the engine buttoned up in the car this weekend.
Derek I will give you that CC's part number 1st thing So will be ordering from elsewhere as I want the engine buttoned up in the car this weekend.
Derek thats the oil I used don't be alarmed by the slight reduction in OP remember you wont have this in for long so it wont be running at high temps or dealing with high loads for long periods, I only used mine for 300 miles with a filter change in-between (after cam break in) with a big magnet stuck on both filters inc the sump plug every little helps just out of curiosity they trapped nothing more than what can best be described as a very fine grey silt like you would expect from piston rings cam gear etc mainly the sump plug not the filter (I always cut them open on my new engines) well this is my 1st since 93 nowadays I would rather spend time looking after the ones I have already than building them
