There are a few people around that have a idea about them.

What exactly they do,
The cam moves the lifters, that inturn moves the push rod, that moves the rocker, that moves the valve open.

how to find a good one
Going to need alot more info that you have provided.

Not if it's a 99 like his s/n says.

Edit: Just read another thread of his. He has a 99, 88 and 82.[sm=bustedsign.gif]
