Hey all,
Building a fairly mild 66 mm x 96 mm short stroke motor (heads opened up a bit, mild cam). Just looking for recommendations for rings unless whatever AA P&Cs come with are considered good enough. Also looking for good lifter recommendations too. Not going hydraulic. Thanks! Randy |

Thank you for sharing your experience. I'll be sure to take this into consideration.
So what lifters are recommended, or simply make sure you don't go with a reground cam? I don't see how cam and lifter harness differences would make it so the pushrod would sink into the cup. That sounds like you had a lifters that were too soft on that surface. I just can't see how the mating surface between the cam and lifter face would have any affect on the problem you experienced. Perhaps I'm missing something? Were you running stiffer springs? Was there more pressure on your pushrods than a stock motor? Thanks again! |
