[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 97465, member: 3426"] Yes that would be a logical option because the head is already set up for twin plugs, but it would not be in keeping with my propensity to do things the hard way. As previously mentioned, you also have to factor in my ancestry..... I basically started with bare lumps and had to purchase all new lifter bits, so I'm damn well going to use them. Kidding aside, it looks like it would be relatively easy to add a small spring loaded bell crank. The spring pressure would assist the internal lifter return spring keep the valve lifter washers sealed. Just an idea rattling around in my head, so who knows.... I might change my tune when time comes. [/QUOTE]
