Re: Lightest solid roller lifter

Those lifters mentioned if you are putting them in a .844 lifter bore they are to small. Comps, Crowers and ISKY"s are .8405 to .8415 in that area and to put them in a GM lifter bore that is .844 and more so on the old blocks with short lifter bores. Running lifters in a bore with .003 clearance lifters are not happy and will show it as they looked scuff because they are using the bottom of the lifter as a cutting tool. Morel seems to be to OEM size whether its a .842, .874 or .904 When machining for roller lifters I measure I measure each lifter and make sure bores are machined accordingly. Here is a good link on lifters sizes between companies. Here is a thread I saw a while ago http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/g...ifters-10.html |

Re: Lightest solid roller lifter
Thanks Carl. Next move will be to a .904 lifter. Does Morel offer needle and bushed? Which do you prefer?

They do offer bushed as well. My feeling on the bushed lifter is the jury is still out on those I have had some interesting calls about bushed lifters in the last year or so. Good Luck which ever way you go. |

Re: Lightest solid roller lifter
Nothing wrong with reducing weight , 1/2" pushrods are there to improve the stiffness of the system . Lifters are already pretty stiff , so reducing weight without compromising durability is probably OK .

Re: Lightest solid roller lifter
Weight of anything that moves matters,
With that being said strength and durability are first then look for weight reduction. Not roller stuff but there is up to 50grams each weight difference between the heaviest and lightest hydraulic/solid lifters, not as much in pushrods but there is a difference,you don't need baseball bat pushrods in a stocker with 400lbs open pressure.

Re: Lightest solid roller lifter
There is nothing wrong with it, It just ain't as important on that side of the valve. It's OK. It just ain't to be obsessed over.

Yes, wrong end of the rocker to sweat weight that much.
