I don't have the time or energy to document stuff frequently and some of that is an artifact from my time working automotive and being constantly under pressure to repair all these broken vehicles that needed to get back to the customer. Some of that bleeds over into my own vehicles unfortunately.

I may be entirely off kilter here and may be prefacing what I'm saying based on the fact that my set up didn't require a lash cap or anything special to run it. It was essentially a plug and play set up just like the LT4 pump was after my cam install.

If I do remember right there was an issue with overall mm of travel with set ups larger than 32% but if you are running one on yours with a 38%.. oh wait, you said you haven't started yours up yet huh? That'll be the x factor here, but if you measured it out and it set up okay then obviously you turned over the engine a few times to confirm binding wasn't present, I trust that it should work just fine without a hitch.

Edit: I just read over your notes. Very interesting stuff! You did require modification to the valley or other items to make it work though correct?

Yeah, post #148 and #150 have a photo of the modified valley cover and additional notes, too.

Ok, this makes sense. Thanks for the additional info. Yeah, from my perspective the keys are: ensure there is preload, ensure you measure a ton, and don't use a lash cap on the Goliath since it doesn't fit.

If you have preload, and you know the max travel still has 0.030"+ , then I think it should be fine. My opinion only, of course. We'll see how mine works once it's running.
