[QUOTE="Bad Company, post: 17031372, member: 141815"] I bought these followers years ago when the first engine L & M built expired shortly thereafter. So I'd say it was 10 years ago, maybe longer, so my memory is lacking somewhat when it comes to these. I talked to Jesel about them before I purchased them. I don't remember them having two different versions, one for solid post lash adjusters and one for the stock hydraulic lash adjuster. In fact I bought 1 of each of the sold posts to maintain the correct valve lash adjustments with the stock followers to measure the camshafts lift and profile of the radical junk L & M camshafts(my opinion) without having to have oil pressure from the engine to maintain proper valve lash while only working with a block, crank, one cylinder head, head gasket and timing chain mocked up. Also Micheal at L & M when he was still supposed to rebuild the failed engine and I showed up with the Jesel followers stated that he didn't like them. Why? Because with his radical super high lift camshaft design that he uses that the followers would bind on the casting of the lash adjuster pockets of the cylinder heads and that he has to grind away some of the lash adjuster pocket of the cylinder head to gain clearance for them to work. With Tony(BES) or John(Accufab) the camshaft profiles they design for these engines don't require any cylinder heads modifications to use these followers. If you have the original box these came in from Jesel the part number should be on the box, if so you can post it or take a picture of it and attach it so anyone with questions can call Jesel for further clarification as to what posts they are compatible with. I truly can't remember there being a difference in the followers between the two different lash posts styles available for these engines. Here is a link with a description of them from Jesel's website and the wording is a bit confusing on this also [URL='https://www.jesel.com/overhead-cam-followers']Followers — Jesel Valvetrain[/URL] [/QUOTE]
