Slant-6 solid roller lifter cams?

Thanks! I'll give them a try.

Well, it turns out that for at least two good reasons, nobody runs rollers in slant 6's:

1. They don't turn the 225's any rpm (6 grand, mostly) and they don't need high valve spring pressures for that, and you don't need rollers with reasonable valve spring pressures.

2. The valvetrain is light enough to warrant the use of weak valve springs (given the rpm) so nobody wipes cams....


3. And, because of that, nobody makes blanks for roller cams for these engines.

Case Closed!!!
