Rhoads lifters

Rhoads is a small company that still believes in selling a quality product. The VMAX XL lifter has a small groove in the side that allows lube oil at the lifter/cam lobe. If you have an adjustable valve train you can adjust the reduction.
If you run them you need to select your cam based on the lift/duration reduction below 3500 RPM. Calculate the Dynamic compression ratio based on intake closing event to pick the cam that works best for your combo. Every engine I've built with Rhoads has a very broad torque band that pulls like a freight train.
