If someone made a lifter that was similar to the way a Chevy lifter works, but for a Hemi , then that would solve the problem . Then a guy could buy hollow style pushrods , and oil the rocker balls directly through the pushrods. That is what I am looking for.

Your right. The Chrysler lifters have no oil band because BB Mopar blocks are not gun drilled through the lifter bores for oiling ( unless aftermarket or specialty machine operation).
I had several B1/TS engines that I outfitted with spray bar oiling in the valve covers. Still had intake galling issues. My resolution ended up providing room for larger diameter, heavier walled push rods to combat flexing ( pole-vaulting ) push rod that caused impact galling.

I have to push back on your statement . All the factory blocks are drilled to oil the lifters , they were available with hydraulic lifters , so they needed this oil gallery .

You are correct. I really have to learn not to post things before I have coffee.
The blocks I was using and thinking of were Indy and KB. They did not come with lifter oiling...duh!

Re: Chrysler Solid Roller Lifter Question

How about Comp Cams. We used their stuff for years in the Hemi motors before they went around the world nuts.

Re: Chrysler Solid Roller Lifter Question

Same as Jeff said, comp cams makes a pushrod oiling lifter. I've used them successfully. Also look at your pushrod tip material, trend makes some material that won't gall, a little pricey though...just some FYI

Re: Chrysler Solid Roller Lifter Question

I have been using Comp stuff , but did not know they had a lifter that oiled up through the pushrod . I will check with them also .

Re: Chrysler Solid Roller Lifter Question

Crower and Morel also offer it.
