if you have double valve springs? Don't run the inners during run in. Swap them in after 20 mins. When fitting new lifters make sure they all fall under their own weight. If they don't? You'll kill a cam/lifters again. To get them to fall under their own |

450 or close to is achievable with an F238. A mates running 350rwhp with an F238. Local to me? WOG engineering in Dandenong. It's opposite Betta Springs. I also highly recommend Pavtek in Lalor.
