If you are leaving I might not buy one, if something goes wrong with the cam are you gonna be there to back it up and go back to the machine shop? It has me worried.

I have heard it brought up and the PT described as a bleed hole lifter like maybe a stock lifter that's drilled. A bleed hole will run soft untill high RPM, like a Roads lifter making the cam feel smaller for more low RPM power. Then you wind up and get full lift out of the cam. That is a bleed lifter that works off of volume. Still it isn't that bad of an idea, with a bigger cam like the F4 a bleed may work great. The PT Neon lifter is not a bleed hole, it's a check valved hole. The check valve lets air through oil against it closes it. So as air trapped in them bubbles up to the top the valve opens and releases it. Neither a PT or a bleed hole lifter will trap air in the lifter making it spongy, but the bleed hole will not hold pressure at idle as well. The PT and the 2.2 lifter are the same basically on the tip end. Why can't custom lifters be made that use the Neon valved tip with a 2.2 body? Why would anyone pay a bunch of money for a cam grind on a bent old POS cam core? I make regrinds of the 767 cam, but they cost $25. So in that case it doesn't matter. But regrinding a stressed old core? Like spending over $1,000 porting a wasted old 782 instead of paying $170 more for a brand new head. I wonder sometimes if many TDers are wanting to build bombs instead of engines, many of the roller cores are 20 years old folks.
