This raises an interesting point in my mind. "followers" is what
they should do, being in contact with the cam at all times. So it
follows (sorry) that if they are not, then damage like pictured
previously is more apt to occur. This engine was also equipped with
roller rockers, aftermarket push rods as well. I think some serious
measurements are in order... <br>
