Comp Cams recommendation evaluation

The rhoades lifters were tested with high volume oil pumps, high pressure pumps, and different viscosity oil by Hot Rod back in the late 70's and they found that they don't affect the rhoades lifter.


As far as bleeding down at higher rpm.


How many times per second does a lifter cycle at an 900 rpm idle? :read2:

How many times per second does a lifter cycle at 6000 rpm? :read2:


Do the math, post it up and let me know. I'm waiting.... :-\"

In 2005 Hod Rod magazine tested them and the conclusion was that you lost some top end power with them...
LOL.. yeah , so oil makes no difference?, then tell me why the idle gets better as the engine oil temp rises when you use those lifters compared from changing from a stock lifter when everything ( like intake manifold heating) is the same???
So you think that lifter is moving so fast at 6000 rpm that not one bit of oil is going to leak from it as it's load conditions also go up?
Forget it, keep using the lifters.
