Is this block roller ready?

The tops of the bosses are flat,but I have my doubts about retainer clearance.

I don't have anything to compare it to and it's been awhile since I saw one with a roller cam installed.

I'm thinking that the last one I saw was machined flat against the cylinder?

I can't find a pic online,any help would be appreciated.Thanks!

Re: Is this block roller ready?

That's good news
I was prepared for the drilling,but I wasn't sure that the clearance for the retainer was there
I was thinking that the last one I saw had a flat surface machined above the lifter bore
Thank you

I can't see the area that I'm talking about in your pics, but I will swap you straight up;-)

Looks very nice
