Recently had an engine rebuilt using the IB .330 Cam and 1.11 diameter lifters. Later found out that 1.125 diameter lifters should have been used. Engine has not been installed yet. Now wondering if I should have the 1.125 size installed or is the 1.11 close enough not to cause a problem. Where can the 1.125 size be obtained. Thanks for your advice.

Should be ok according to this

Thanks Chuck, its that last .007 (1.117-1.110) that concerns me.

If anyone else is concerned, I was informed by Tony Stipe that the 1.11 diameter Single Lock A-6500-SL lifter sold by Snyders is OK to use with the IB .330 cam. The Double Lock A-6500-DL which are .990 should not be used.
