I know there have been some advancements in lifters, and I didn't think I'd be shopping for them so soon. I don't want to go overkill on them, nor do I want to spend too much, so what lifters are good now?
engine will be a 2056, about 9.2-9.5 CR, 163 webcam. heads are ported, but I'm not sure on the size. 44x36 maybe, 10lb lightened flywheel. that's the plan on the napkin right now anyway. |

I thought ceramic lifters or other such lifters were deemed better regardless? I remember Jake and others mentioning lifter failure from using the "packaged" lifters? did they get better? I know some people have also treated the lifters in some way to ensure they do not fail...

If you can get Ceramic, use them. But I think that they are unobtanium these days, unless you find them used. Zach |

Zach figures (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) like I said I've been out of the loop... last time I was looking at engine components, ceramic was new and shiny... |
