mvierow Gearhead Posts: 209 From: Bay Area, Ca Registered: Apr 2001	posted 08-10-2003 12:37 PM I've got the cam and lifters installed, the 'dog bones' placed to prevent the lifters from rotating, and now I'm about to install the 'spider'. When I place the piece in the lifter galley, it rests on top of each dog bone but is about 1/4" from the base of the galley. I can apply force to make it reach the bottom, but I am curious if this is the correct method of installation. The bones and spider are all new from ford. IP: Logged
