That wasn't an education. We have to use the same terminology or no one will have a clue. That's why I pointed that out.
That said...I have a Comp catalog coming because I hate using the web to find stuff like those lifters.
I'm aware that some of the link bars were hitting the block. I had to grind the block a bit on my T/A block and both my X blocks. But it wasn't much.
I'll see what this R block looks like when I get it clean later next week. Of course, I don't have any lifters here to check it, and I'm wobbling HARD between a roller and a mushroom lifter.
The least lifter I'd buy is the Crane Ultra Pro but I'd like a bushing lifter...I *THINK* I might want a bushed lifter.
OTOH, I've had a butt full of roller issues and I'm not big on running 280-300 on the seat on a street/strip car, because if I'm going roller, I'm going to net .750 lift or I'm not doing it.
And so it goes.
And you are correct...we need a sticky on this stuff to help guys from making bad decisions. Again, the least that should be done is the passenger side lifter gallery should be tubed. Even with solid flat lifters.
