[Fot] HELP - I wiped out my cam

[Marx Christian tr4-racing]

You might have read my tappet talk mail from the last 3 weeks.
I have let grind my tappets flat because all available tappets are domed and
from my opinion they don't run well on a non-taper lobe cam, as most of the
cams are.

Will be interesting to find out if they will last....

Cheers
Chris

    My TR4 is a fast road car, not a race car, but I do a lot of track days
at
    Beaverun. Track time on a track day is as much as at a normal vintage
race
    weekend. Otherwise just road use.
    I wiped a couple lobes off my cam.
    It is an Isky 555 with Isky springs, etc. 10 to 1 compression.
    I put Richard Good's 165 roller rockers on last summer which increased
the
    lift from .435 to .480. Easy installation, no coil bind,etc.
    Wasn't long till #3 needed adjusted and adjusted and---
    3 lifters are now concave and badly pockmarked!
    Where can I get lifters that can hold up?
    .480 lift is kid stuff compared to what most of you are running.
    Advice solicited and happily accepted.
