[Spridgets] oil for spridgets

[Bud Osbourne]

Here's another thought: A friend of mine was having trouble with premature 
cam and lifer wear in his hotted-up TR4 engine.  He finally had some lifters 
tested for hardness (Rockwell scale) and found that not all of the lifters 
were as hard as they were supposed to be......and not all the lifters in a 
new set were hardened to the same degree.  He finally sourced some original 
equipment lifters from his parts stash, and sent them out to some outfit in 
CA to be tested, then reground,  Isky also did a special cam for him, adding 
some angle to more positively rotate the lifters.  Time will tell.....and 
(as soon as I eat.....just got in from work.....I'm gonna go out and get 
that Isky letter out of my Midget's boot and read it).
