Before this setup, I had previously the DFT32/34, but with standard cam and lifters and the car has not that problem.
Now my problem is finding anyone that will supply the set of mechanics here to Spain.
Also I have seen on the newmans catalog, they have a tool for adjusting the followers. Maybe that tool will be quite useful for adjusting the followers.
The tool is nothing more than something to hold the body of the follower, its no different to just wrapping a bit of aluminium around then to stop damaging them in a vice! (i was told this by Newman himself) So buying this will NOT help
I would of thought they would send you a set to Spain?????
With these fitted, you should rev up to 6k with ease!
