Why Mushroom head on Lifter
Hello
So I like to learn things. And I was interested in the "mushroom" head on the Y block lifter.. My search did not turn up any other car manufacturer who used this.. But I did find a few articles on "big" diameter solid valves Ask Anything , larger lifters. Hot Rod https://www.hotrod.com/articles/ask-...arger-lifters/ I am sure some of you have asked this question, It seems strange that only Ford would use this..but reading about the "larger" diameter lifter, and how it moves "faster".. The article gives credit to "chevy small block" and their 0.843 dia then the 62 Ford 221, 0.875, then the then the 64 Mopar 0.904 Totally ignoring the Y Blocks 1.011 mushroom headed lifter.. Seems to me that with the head that big, but the body smaller the Ford lifters are lighter, give more contact area, then either of the other two... and came out in 1954. Best |
