Engine builder Jim Lewis was in attendance at the race and informed me since we only had about 10 runs and some dyno time, the engine was under warranty. We broke two lifters, which also hurt the cam and 4 pistons. We're done with Smith lifters! We will go in another direction, in the lifter department from now on.

Quite honorable considering it was probably a component failure and nothing to do with his work. I've been down that path with Schubeck and also lost a puck, a cam, two rods & pistons and two sleeves. That's after I abrasively honed all my rings and bearings previous to that over a solid composite lifter failure. Should have my Tool steel lifters from Precision any old day now. I hope...
