We bore gauge all the lifter bores to make sure they are not to to tight.
Those caps are nodular iron caps and are one and half times stronger thenthe a standard GM grey cast cap. It is the same cap as far as material as the Little-M Sportsman block

Hey Zip when you bringing that bad boy Anglia w/ that blown 434 to Byhalia?
I'm sure Mike Frank ( track promoter ) could set you up a match race with someone.
Here's a link to the tracks webpage. http://byhaliaraceway.com/
They are having a benefit's race this weekend for ST Jude's Childrens research hosiptal, lots of stuff to raffle off plus a cake walk and a best 2 outta 3 match race with Russel Synder's altered ( 4.90's ets ) VS Steve gurley's digger plus the regular bracket program.
It should be a hoot!
