Solid roller lifter choice?

Toluene56 said

I used the 8043's in my magnum block, to pushrod oil my trickflow heads. Probably have about 1000 miles on the engine so far, when I pulled the intake off to mess with some stuff, I checked how everything was doing. No weird marks, A larger roller would be ideal. But so far so good.

I just looked at what I can find on line. I thought all those Endure-X lifters for Chrysler's had an .810 wheel. I need to order a new Comp catalog. That doesn't look like the cheap Comp and Crane stuff.

I used to have the Wall Of Shame at my shop. I hung all the broken, junk crap up there so everyone could see it. There were plenty of lifters hung up there. They all had .750 wheels and huge oil bands cut out of them.

My situation was a bit different. Most guys don't shift at 8k plus and make power there. But...the small wheel can be an issue long before that RPM.

I did hear that Comp and some others we using a reduced base circle core for some of their milder roller grinds. That right there helps with the smaller diameter wheel.
