You can see the lifter in the center of this picture is so far into the block it has uncovered the lifter oil hole! That is why we had low oil pressure on course at SSCC! The lifter bottom is damaged and won't come out, so the only hope of using this block is to remove the cam and then get the lifters out of the cam bore. I'm just going to pull the engine and drop it off at the builder and see what he can do.</div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv2852412241yui_3_16_0_1_1416191997131_4051"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv2852412241yui_3_16_0_1_1416191997131_4051">JB</div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv2852412241yui_3_16_0_1_1416191997131_4051"><br clear="none"></div><div id="yiv2852412241yui_3_16_0_1_1416191997131_4054" style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:14px;"><div id="yiv2852412241yui_3_16_0_1_1416191997131_4053" style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"><div class="yiv2852412241y_msg_container" id="yiv2852412241yui_3_16_0_1_1416191997131_4056"><br clear="none"><br clear="none"><br clear="none"><br clear="none">Sent from my iPhone<br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div> </div> </div> </div></div></div><br clear="none">_______________________________________________<br clear="none">TPR mailing list<br clear="none"><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" id="yiv2852412241yui_3_16_0_1_1416191997131_13686" ymailto="mailto:TPR@teampanteraracing.com" target="_blank" href="mailto:TPR@teampanteraracing.com">TPR@teampanteraracing.com</a><br clear="none"><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" id="yiv2852412241yui_3_16_0_1_1416191997131_13667" target="_blank" href="http://teampanteraracing.com/mailman/listinfo/tpr_teampanteraracing.com">http://teampanteraracing.com/mailman/listinfo/tpr_teampanteraracing.com</a><br clear="none"><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div></div> </div> </div> </div></div></div><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div> </div> </div></div> </div></div></div><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
