Lifter bore problem
I need to find out how much lifter bore clearance is acceptable. I had some issues with low oil pressure in a race engine of mine and one of the lifters got a bit stuck in the lifter hole. I had to use a pry bar to remove it and it looked scorched.
I dont want to throw the block away but may have to.
any easy fix for these?
