What about getting a regrind on the cam to a smaller base circle to retain higher lifts. Im surprised the differances you found in the lifters Yet I once tossed a set of elgin Ls7 lifters i had kicking around into my 6.0 powerstroke like over 200k miles ago ford wanted $600 lol

So is anyone running them? If so what method are you using to to retain the lifters? My only concern is the open roller design seems weaker then the closed design.

I have a set of Howards link bar Hydraulic rollers in a 455 and they are very noisy, I have tried every setting under the sun and they continue to rattle. I am looking for a solution.

I don't see how the dogbone can work with the round part of the lifter body extending above flush. Please explain how that works. And I saw one of those lifter bodies hitting the cam lobe before the roller. I'm wondering if you have actually done this.

Can you still use the original valley pan with this mod?

[jeffbackfirewhitford]

what was results after running these all good after few thousand miles??

Does lifter diameter matter or are all brands the same?

Sorry but it doesn’t address the real issue with hydraulic roller lifters.
