I’d change my mind if a few people with 100k plus miles destructively inspected the lifters and I saw the needles were all excellent.
If you want to make arrangements I will give you mine that I replaced last September (October?). I didn't take them apart but you can.

Yeah, if you don’t mind wiping them out, Pete. I’m really curious if the damage to my needles were only due to my motors debris, or if there’s more going on with other motors.

I’m scheduled to be down at my doc at Atlanticare Sept 10, or if you want to mail them I’ll pick up the postage. Or you could check them, hammer and punch.
