Valve locks touching ok?

A hydraulic roller with those spring specs You feel OK with letting those locks butt??? Not Me..


I personally don’t like locks that let the valves rotate.

I wouldn’t ever use that type of lock with solid lifters because the lash getting taken up beats the locks and valves pretty good.

I’ve taken some apart used with solid lifters and the grooves in the valves and locks were so blown out they were sharp. So sharp you could almost shave with the valve.

How that didn’t fail surprised me.

But with hydraulic lifters there isn’t lash in the system, or shouldn’t be so it doesn’t beat on them.
