BEW aka black lifter issues holding valves open and causing damage??
Quickly talked to Geoff at Colt today and he mentioned the black nitrided lifters have an internal spring or something that will hold the valve open and cause piston to valve damage and also reduce lift???? He didn't have time to send me the video but will in the next few days, on how to mod the black lifter so that won't happen.
Anyone heard anything like this? I was going to do my cam tonight on my PD, went flat, but holding off until I can get this figured out.
