My dyno pulls were with the same springs, different lifters.
Also check to make sure that the pushrods are the correct length, a long shot but it is part of the process.
Don't know about the lift issue with 496 lifters, definitely something to look at there.Yes but then why no problems of insufficient oiling for all those hours? Good point

Good point. How does one confirm the function of a hydraulic lifter to determine if one is now defective?

That is interesting. Do you know if the valves floated with the Crane hydraulic lifters at 5600 rpm because they were pumping up?

Don't know why but you can definitely see the airflow, tq and hp numbers drop off when the valves float.

oil pressure!! if the retainer clip that holds all the internals in the lifter comes out then the lifter will keep expanding and could cause the valve to hit a piston at higher rpms..

Good to Know. So if the lifter snap ring is still in place this should not be a problem at present....correct?

thats what broke on my lifter,the retaining spring,,,each lifter should be able to be pushed down so far,,,so yea if the clip is there and it is able to push down a little,,,i would say its good,,
