Just a simple question. How can you tell the difference between mechanical and hydraulic lifters? My old stock ones were solid, but my new ones "914 high performance race" from Web are two piece. I thought that hydraulics were two piece and mechanical were solid. These were made by Johnston before they went under.

Even the solid ones are two-piece.

Stick a pushrod into it and push down while its on the desk. If it moves more than .001 its a HYD. (it wont move my dizzle)

Check out this thread from the STF T4. It contains some info concerning the new Web Cam lifters. Plus some info on LN Engineering's ceramic T4 lifter.

This will Shizzolate anywebsite for you. Unfortunately, it has problems with some nested pages.

Type in a page with a lot of text on it... notice the subtle changes in the words.

For example cnn.com becomes a little more amusing.

It's also a bit slow!

this is f**ing funny:

from the snooped up CNN homepage:

Shooting at N.Y. City Hall
One person wuz capped 'n another wounded in a shooting today at New York's City Hall, 'n da shooter remains at large, according New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg." Councilman Joel Rivera be like da gunman wuz talking wit Councilman James Davis 'n then pulled out a handgun 'n shot tha dude's ass n' shit.

The mayor wuz in tha dude's office at da time of da shooting but wuz unharmed, know what I'm sayin'? "This is an attack on democracy," be like Bloomberg n' shit. "This is not terrorism -- that shiznit appears be a random act, know what I'm sayin'? "

Kickass...


The Snoop translater.

What a celebration of stupidity! I wish Kurt was still around to take care of "snoop".

Alfred... can you just laugh with us about how stupid it is ??


B

Here we go again, no what Im sayin
Back OT isn there any Part #/s on the lifters/followers to ID them from Hyd to mech. n'schnizit?

Karlizzle, I just shizzled milkizzle through my shnizzle.


lol


M

From Krieger's idiotic link...



Yes, if Kurt were still around, maybe he'd take care of another Canadian!

(Sorry to the other Canadian members on the board that don't seem to have any problems for what we all post and discuss here).

Oh... and rdauenhauer and swood... sorry to Hijack the thread here. I've never actually seen the silly show everyone is chuckling about.

Wish I had an answer on your lifter and follower problem.

Regards,

Karl

don't give jeffred too much credit by comparing him to a prisoner of war ...
know what I'm sayin'?

Dude, you guys kill. I go away for a few hours, with only B responding to my lame post, come back and it's ebonics land again.
Too funny.
and thanks for nothing

No part numbers.. not much room on them for stamping/grinding a number into them.

When they come out of a motor.. I use a paint marker and put what cylinder number and I or E on them.


B

Ok one more try....
Fizzel this: Other the Raby, has anyone had any experiance with "Ceramic" followers why are they the Shnizit!
Moronic minds have to know

Now that is just pretty darn funny...funizzle. It's contagious isn't it?

B - Part # WEB #00-263 914 Hi performance race lifter

The idea of ceramic folowizzlers is making the whole valveizzletraintizzle lighter. (izzle)

My lastizzle hurrahfizzle, I can't keep this up in da house, you know what I mean?


M

Its down like this:

Ceramic is much lighter. The lighter the valvetrain the easier it is on the valve springs (higher RPM is obtainable without valve float)..and the heads will last longer.. because you dont have to run some ungodly valve spring seat pressures.


My Dizzle.



B

Those ceramic lifters are tempting....hmmmm, what could I sell to finance those puppies......????

Anyone want to buy my first generation Megasquirt? Already built and ready to go

The Web-Cam lifters are 140.00 and the ceramic are 400.00 FYI

I want full roller lifters for our cars... less friction.


B

New Roller Lifter Design

Our lifter bores are ~24mm, these new roller lifters need a 1" bore for the sleeve.

My concern would be whether or not the rollers will get enough oil support the roller and keep it lubed.


The price is 920 for 16 (enough for two engines) anyone want to split a set???

I wonder if they'll sell just one lifter and roller for testing??

How about you shrink the MF'ers down a little... jeez.


B

Ahh yes.. Mr. Lakewood. Hard to beleive he was hydroforming back in the late 70's and we are just now seeing the prices for equipment drop below a million dollars.


B

Sorry about that, I linked right off of his site and those pictures are not even close to being that big........

I'd love rollers.

That Pauter stuff looks a lil much for the street... just about right!


M

Oh my god... I just realized what I am looking at..

That is too cool.



M

I wouldn't worry Mike that the rollers will get enough oil. Remember the cam is below the crank and gets all that oil being flung off the crank. Its not like a OHC motor at all.

The pics are worth drooling over! How much?

Geoff

The ceramics are $430. from LN, but he wants you to ship your case to him for machining, the lifters are .002 oversize.

For us poor Canucks, exchange, case shipping, brokerage, taxes and etc... we're talking about 8 to 900 bucks. Ouch, too much. Sounds cool though.

Don't rollers add weight to the valve train?

I was watching a program about WWII on the Canadian version of the History Channel a few years ago and they had a History Professor there discussing the program and he said matter of factly that more German POWs died in Allied POW camps than Allied Pows died in German POW camps. For many years, there was even a newspaper columnist here, named Doug Collins, who was a British WWII vet and he held some kind of record for most escape attempts from a German POW camp. He had a very positive view of Germans but he was completely racist. Maybe he was contrasting his experience in a German POW camp with that of the British in Japanese POW camps. Kellzey, not everything you were taught or believe is true.

No, explain it for me...

hey jeff/alfred/mr scwhenk..... i take it thats you? i agree....not everything you are taught is true.....THE WORLD IS FLAT...I knew IT!!!!!!!!!

Alfred/Jeff,
i know you're attracted to tall, blonde, blue-eyed germans, but why did you post a picture of me?

well, at least i'm not afraid to show my (ugly) face or hide behind a fake identity ...

so much for your credibility,
Andy

haha, no that's alfreds wet dream ...

actually, that picture is me, taken from my web-site:


http://www.sirandy.com/

i vote for a SPAM filter for this board.

once cleaned out, this would actually make for a pretty informative thread ....

Andy

So will my posts be hijacked every time?!

For chizzle my nizzle
