Superram Gasket supply status?
Has this changed? It looks like I will soon be taking my top end off to replace my lifters. I hopefully will be able to reuse my gaskets, but thought I'd ask before digging into everything.

88BlackZ-51 (Rick) just ordered a full set of Super Ram gaskets for his from LPE. It appears that they should still have some in stock unless he got lucky and got one of the last sets.

Why not remove the rockers/guide plates/push rods and use a good telescopic magnet to re and re them.

Momentary lapse of reason 
It seems that the flat tappet does have some advantages
