Solid roller lifters for LT1
 

Time to make the change...any recommendations?

Morel lifters as they are to OEM size and will fit an OEM lifter bore

I have found ISKY, COMP, Crower run to small for OEM bores.

The first year with this car we used nothing but Lucas 10-30 full syn racing oil. We ran out of it and decided to try Royal Purple 5-30 . We had 2 rockers come loose enough to lay over to the side just idling up to the lanes.one of the adjuster nuts was cracked. I put them back and checked all the others. At Houston the next week after a good pass, a different one came loose in the shut down area,and...the adjuster nut was cracked. So I'm thinking what was the one thing we changed?...so I fixed it again drained out the RP put on new filter.filled it with Mobil 1 10-30 raced the rest of the weekend with no problems. So I'm thinking those lifters aren't staying pumped up unless the car is screaming down the track.

I don't think solid roller lifters are legal in stock.

Re: Solid roller lifters for LT1
 

Yes they are.

Re: Solid roller lifters for LT1
 

This is a modern LT1 , I believe. It came with roller lifters.

Re: Solid roller lifters for LT1
 

Yes on late model LT1 having roller lifters. Yes to killentime6968 on converting to solid

Re: Solid roller lifters for LT1
 

Which one?

Re: Solid roller lifters for LT1
 

The one on the right is a solid roller lifter , I think to run a tie bar style lifter in a late model LT1 block you need to have the .300" tall solid roller lifters .

Re: Solid roller lifters for LT1
 

On my LT-1 Stocker, I used Bullet short travel hydraulic rollers with the tie bars and recall those lifters could not be installed or removed with the head on...….

They were to tall and hit the head before they cleared the lifter bores

I Never had a reason to remove them so it was not a problem.....

That sounds like my Isky Red Zones. Like the shorter pushrods they need.
I am amazed solid lifters are now allowed in Stockers that didn't come with them.
Been too long since I ran Stock. I find how fast they are now very impressive.
