Lightest solid roller lifter
Who makes the lightest solid roller lifter? Anybody know? Thanks, J.R.

Re: Lightest solid roller lifter
All that matters at the lifter is strength, design, and dimensional accuracy. I don't know anyone that even bothers to weigh lifters anymore.

Jesel keyway lifters are pretty light .

Has zero bearing on performance. What good would it do to have a light weight lifter, and attach 1/2" pushrods to them? Stability, and accuracy on that side of the valve is far more important.

Re: Lightest solid roller lifter
Is it light and strong, or strong and light?

Re: Lightest solid roller lifter
I like strong and light. I think Crane put large lightening holes in the upper body as an option years ago. Now most designs are of a cutaway nature and are probably as light as you can get. I have had 3 needle bearing type lifter failures in the past so moving to bushed. Not long ago there was talk that more power can be made with the needle version, I don't see it. Bushing should be floating on film of oil if supply and pressure are right.

Funny..............
In Stock, I thought all of these changes are for safety and longevity, NOT performance based???????????????? Such as aluminum seats and radiators, disc front brakes, solid lifters and I could go on & on...... Silly me........... I guess I'm just shoveling it against the tide.... |

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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpfOKr3B3FA 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. |

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. |
