Solid roller lifter choice?

-
I picked up a set of scorpion (Johnson) lifters earlier this year, I've seen people post about their hyd rollers, but not sure if anyone has used their mech rollers.

IDK who makes them
I used to get them from Rocker arm Rebuilders
I've seen them recently as options somewhere but and will try and remember where
the cup adjuster allowed the pushrod to be longer
you did not have to adjust the ball adjuster down to clear the pushrod cup against the rocker
been awhile
I'd ask B3 let me know what you find
tks

just saw the above post, would help if I actually read all the posts
 
So I have a question, after reading up on what I think I would want to see in a roller lifter why doesn’t someone make a solid lifter with the tie bar in board, with an very small drilled orifice leading to the oil galley feeding oil pressure to a bushing? It would solve the oil pressure loss issue, because even if it uncovered the hole its too small to dump that much pressure and it would not create an open path. Its not like its spinning in the lifter bore. Drill a small hole to feed the axle and the pushrod! You can cut the smallest oil band to lube the lifter bore if you need to.

With the 59 degree LBA inboard tie bars hit the pushrods. No way around that.

I've run bushed and tubed blocks with hydraulic lifters and PR oiling many times.

If it's bushed, a .0625 hole in each bushing that intersects with the oil gallery will feed anything you want.

If you tube the passenger side...same thing. An .0625 hole in the tube and for the drivers side you just restrict the oil down to .220ish and let it run.

See post 46 and 47 for link bars that are inboard. Bam and others offer them.
 
BAM solid roller lifters with inboard tie bar in a 340 with Edelbrock heads. No clearance issues with pushrods or block.

I have Lunati solid roller lifters. Dropped straight in no issues with clearance. Seem to be okay but it's my first set of rollers so I don't have any thing to compair them to

That is correct. Inboard is towards the cam, outboard to the block.

The SBM is the only engine ive seen with outboard link bars.

OK so is there a manufacture that produces a roller lifter with an inboard link for the SBM?

I gotta go back and read this post when I get a chance. I bought these from What’s His name before he closed his shop. Are these lifters any good?
 
“I’ve read”a few good and happy people using them.
I also have a set waiting for use.....
