Re: Need help from the flathead gurus...? Valve clearance issue

And valve rotators has nothing to do with lifter rotation, they promote uniform heat, wear and deflection of the valve and helps keep the seat clean from deposits. So not a bad idee to use them in my book. The weight difference between rotators and non rotators are 3g so more to be gained from hollow lifters for weight. And that they should break....they are used with the same design on heavy diesels with lotīs of more springpressure then any race flathead ever is going to see. Then when it comes to mixing parts...lotīs of ways of doing it...not only one way that is correct. Most of the time personal taste is what descides.... |

I have a question, have you checked the NOS lifters you just received for length? I remember your original ones were all over the place, are the NOS ones fairly consistent on length?

Now that said I'm building a new motor and am trying to source non-rotating radius bottom hollow adjustable lifters, I am using the Isky 404 jig and tool kit from the 50's. Has anyone seen a set of lifters like this? Thanks good talk! |
