Re: Lifter Hardness

We were involved with BRITISH FRAME & ENGINE and 'the problem' when the GT40 
cam followers were discovered.  Kevin Potter, our engine builder, came up 
with the idea to keep the sleeves in the freezer until need to make them fit. 
 

Seems to me, there was also an opinion at the time that part of the problem 
involved the fact that to work, all of the pieces needed to be of similar 
hardness.  One could not be hard and another soft, etc.  It was felt this was 
a contributing factor.
