There it is.. also follow the link to LNengineerings site to see more pics.

I'm going to get a spare lifter and take videos of it TRYING to be destroyed with a grinder, sawzall,torch and anything else we can find, including a sledge hammer!

I'm spoiled now, no more guesswork and no chances! hell they don't even need a break in!

So Jake is there a T4 ceramic lifter, IE a drop in application or are you modifing all cases for T1 lifters?

Posted by: Jake Raby May 19 2004, 06:00 PM

Those were first installed 3 years ago before the TIV ceramic was available in stock diameter...

Now they are available in stock diameter as well as .002 oversize for refurbishing new cases...

These damn things kick ASS!

I worship them!

Man, Those things are way kool Guess I'll have to get a set for my new engine.

That's very impressive. So little wear means fewer rebuilds!!!!!

Posted by: Jake Raby May 20 2004, 08:12 AM

And virtually no friction! That equals less heat transferred intpo the oil and lower temperatures.

Posted by: McMark May 20 2004, 09:08 AM

Jake do you find that by this time most cases require machining to fit the overbore lifters?

Posted by: Jake Raby May 20 2004, 10:28 AM

Almost every case has atleast .002 of wear.. sometimes the .002 lifters drop right into the case!!!
