Tubing the gallery with a twist

Ironmike said
Lift is 668. Springs are Pac 1238x, can't remember the pressure, have to check that again to be sure. It's a Bullet solid roller. If I went to the .750 roller it would only lower the lifter .030, since the roller I have is .810. Might be just enough but I just believe the bigger roller is better able to handle higher spring pressures.

I would have to tube both sides, while keeping the oiling stock, so my rollers can be fed. Was Poking around the net and look what I found.WydendorfMachine.com - Wydendorf Machine

Pricey, but looks worth a thought at least...

Won't correct bad angles but I do it myself in my own shop.....you know what I mean.
Not to mention having that kind of tooling for future projects.

I sorta think like YR. I don't believe the lifter angles are that big a deal. They'd have to be waaay of to actually hurt power or longevity. Just my thoughts on that issue.

Looks pretty cool . Hope they're still available. Just in case.

I forgot about that deal. Seen it before. The biggest deal is how do you know the reamer to finish the bushings is the correct size to match your lifters? I mean, you can get in the MSC catalog yourself and buy the reamer a if you wanted to. And you can make the bushing driver on a lathe in half an hour to an hour depending on the size of the lathe.

I really wish I would have spent some time to do a tube down the drivers side. Then I'd know if it could be done. Without looking at a block I can't say why it can't be done. The real reason no one does it is because you can plug the oil off to the DS with a single plug and not deal with it. But that won't oil the lifters.

You could measure your lifters and call those dudes and see what size the reamer is. So you do have some options.
