just MAKE SURE TO, have them set at the corect torque specs. that is prolly one of the most important things u can do when doing this job... and i got mine from mopar, but i worked there at the time so it was not that bad in price...... i accually have a set if u were interested, but they have been sitting around, so it may take a while for them to pump up..... if u r interested let me know.......

i honestly had mine done in about 30 min... if that, i have an impact to get the valve cover off really fast.... then just take ur time and there will be spacers between the lifters... makesure u put them back together exactly the way u pulled them off......
those lifters you have, how old are them? and how much?

now you have to stick with syntechic. You can't go back to conventional

OH just a quick note, when u torque them down i think there r 5 (not positive) bolts holding the lifters down, then u bolt then down work ur way in qually.... do not go in a row..... just fyi
Also, make sure everything goes back in EXACTLY how it came out. The oil supply passages run through therods that hold the rockers.

no it is comming from the brass fitting i used to hook the stock pressure sender and an aftermarket one for my gauges... when i take the f'in thing off the little male-to-male brass fitting stays attached to the freakin block and i cant get a wrench in there to take it off so its just a real pain in the ***...i just need some help to like silicon the **** out of the fitting thats attached to the block so it stops freakin leaking.... :-\

a light tapping is normal, but it should go away after the engine warms up....
