[Healeys] 100 lifters

[Bob Spidell]

re: "Denis Welch said he'd buy EVERY Buick lifter I could get for him."

Was this before, or after, DWM started offering their own bucket lifters?

My BJ8 has a DWM gun-drilled cam, with 'standard' lifters (kinda wish 
I'd gone with the buckets). Anyone seeing any issues with this gear?
