V6914,
you should have no problems with the ceramic lifters......just don't drop the ceramic lifters on the ground, and don't float the living daylights out of the valves (which would be stupid to do on a regular basis no matter what kind of lifters)...I've got a set, they are almost too pretty to install into the motor  [/B]

I, went to Vetrans Stadium last sunday, I met with Charles from LN Engineering, I asked him about the chiping of the Ceramics, he then pick up one of his sample Ceramic lifters, and slamed it on the asphalt, not once but three times, I inspected it after, no chips, he did say there had been some that chiped, but that was because they were ran with over 800 pd valve springs. He said 400 to 500 pd springs and Ceramics no problem.
Valve float is because the springs are to week. Then there the people who destroy ther cams, by coil binding them to death.
I'll help anyone out, seting up there heads, with how I do it.
