Mike, I was just playing with ya. I have the Summit 2801 cam and lifter kit in the Formula's 455HO and the 2802 cam & lifter kit in the '70 LeMans' 455 and both are kinda' noisy under the valve covers, at least noisier than the previous lifters we used. I am getting adequate oiling to the top end which is good. I am wondering if Summit supplies Johnson Hy-Lifts 951r's with their packaged cams they sell which are the quicker bleed-down lifter (higher rpm) and their website mentions some ticking I believe. I'll have to check it out again.
I'm glad to hear all is well with the motor so far and continues to be. Stories of bad lifters is too prevalent these days.
