I just got a call from my rep at Blue Print Engines - my short block is ready and will ship either today or Monday.
Not bad, I ordered it on the 5th, it took only 12 days!

Sweet!

I was too late, I just got an email, Blue Print says the small block shipped today. I also got the ARP head bolts and FelPro Gasket set from Summit Racing. I guess I'm gonna build it after all. I still have a lot of parts to clean, only one head is done so far

So the reason flat tappet cams are eating lobes is the epa made the oil manufacturers take out the ingredients that kept this from happening. Eastwood and I’m sure others as well sell an additive called zddp to stop the wear out of the flat tappet lobes and is why everything today has a roller of some sort for a camshaft
