Lash caps? Ahhh, the old hot-rodder's top-hat shim. No, I don't, but it does give me an idea of what to look for to shim the lifter.... maybe I can find something similar somewhere around here. I was thinking I might need to pull a lifter apart and replace the spring with something solid like a BB. I've never tried to strip one of the lifters and don't know exactly what to expect if I try it.

I guess another method would be to stuff something into the follower barrel behind the lifter. I measure the lifter compression at .100", so something on the order of .090" should do the trick.

I decided to leave the cam dowel hole as original diameter in case I ever wanted to return to OE condition. The stepped dowel pin will let me do that, although I will blow a pair of sprockets if I go back to the original.... I figured better that than trash a set of Diamante cams.
