[QUOTE="oexing, post: 91077, member: 1493"] Yes, that is the way to go ! You won´t have that pointy cam shape like with the flat followers and when you do some easy mods to get max oil supply into the camshafts all oil that is flung out the oil holes will easily prevent all this wear you see on flat drilled followers. Oil holes in the follower in an area at highest loads does NOT help here , simply stupid ! I was looking at my Horex parts, could almost fit in the Vincent engine ! There is NO oil supply , neither from within the camshaft nor from the pushrods into a hole in the follower contact pad !! All lubrication in this department is just oil mist. The curved followers were stellited standard in the factory and usually these engines have no real problem here, even less so with modern oil. So big question: Where do we get these followers and more so who supplies the cams to go with them ??? Vic [ATTACH=full]19599[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]19600[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]19601[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
