Re: Roller Cam Help

you also need the roller lifter hold down bracket to keep them from spinng. flat tappet lifters are designed to rotate while in ioeration but the rollers are not, they need to be held in place so they dont go sideways on the cam lobes.

the bracket is usually bolted into the valley under the intake manifold. youd have to modify that to gget it to work.
