Unless you're measuring the lift at the outside shell of the lifter with a dial indicator, you're not likely to get an accurate reading. The inside plunger of a lifter can leak down as the engine is rolled over
Yeah, I realize that, but the lifters bleed down pretty quick, because these Rhoads lifters bleed down more than conventional lifters.
I thought I would try replacing my HEI module, and it "seems" to be doing ok. If this doesn't cure the hesitation, I only have the in-cap coil to replace. After this, I will consider tearing it apart to replace the cam and lifters.
So you think that the 1/16" discrepancy is enough to cause what I'm experiencing?
