You'd think so, but like I said, he doesn't know what's causing it and says he's never seen anything like this before.

all afr heads larger than the 195's come with SOLID roller springs.. if you try and use them with a hydraulic roller you are going to have 16 brand new collapsed lifters. and they are good to .650 IIRC and they are a [edit] to swap out even with a pnuematic spring compressor..lol..
