Hydralic roller lifters

[2wd_Sled_Puller]

Guy's i got a quick question for yall. Do u adjust hydrolic roller lifters with a filler gauge. Or just like any other hydrolic lifter? And if u gotta do it with a filler gauge what kinda gap does it need?



Thanks Kurt

I never did adjust them when i ran them on my racecar but i do with my solid roller lifters i adjust them every three drag events.

I always used the tighten till theres no slop and give a 1/4 to 1/2 turn to load them

This is the same way i did mine. I notice there was a sling pop threw the exhust side i pulled the intake because the gasket didnt seal correctly anyways it was pouring oil out and just happen to grab number 4 push rods. There was no load once so ever. So i got next lifters and everything eles. Now its really starting to sound like a truck. Also has anyone ever seen a set of hydrolic roller lifters come stock in a 350 sb. I have always thought they only come in a HO motor is that true??

I think in newer 350 motors like 86 and newer maybe. Comp cams makes a good set dont know the price but still good I personally like my solid rollers they have held up to multiple 10000 rpm trips.

Nope not talking about the dmax pat. Im talking about the motor for project gas hog

 

[MadMooseEngineering]

[2wd_Sled_Puller]

Im hopeing she is somewhere in that hp ratio

 

[MadMooseEngineering]
