Anyone use them, have pictures?

Once you remove the pushrod from the lifter do you have to ream the lifter to install?

Thanks

I didn't have to ream mine but they were not from WW. As long as the diameter is the same you shouldn't have to ream them.

Thanks, I decided to pull my head out my @$$ and called WW. They said the same thing, just press them in, no reaming required.

Have you had a chance to run them yet?

Not yet. My buddy had an idea to use his lathe to chuck up the pushrods and
use it to wind/pull the lifters off. Worked like a charm and no bent rods.
Crank assembly is going together. Next in line as far as alterations go is the cylinder shims and piston clearancing!
