They have about 160miles on them. Definitely have taken it to redline once or twiceTom wrote: Sat Jan 29, 2022 5:57 pm Nice, thanks for the update. How many miles on them now? Have you got on it to redline, etc.?
As for the start-up ticking, take a big pickle jar and installed a barbed hose fitting in the lid. Put a lifter or two in the jar and pour motor oil in until the lifter(s) is fully submerged. Then put the lid on tight and draw a vacuum with a mityvac. You'll see the trapped air bubbling out of the lifters (and oil going in). At least with 944 lifters, you can virtually eliminate that initial lifter tick. Have to believe it would work just as well on these lifters because physics.
I am hoping to do a autocross or some kind of HPDE soon. Ya, I probably should have done the pickle jar thing but It's kind of a no harm no foul thing. If I were to do it again I would have pre-filled the lifters... less anxiety hearing the valve train ticking even if it's harmless.
