lifter mods

[gectek]

The LS ones are the only other ones that come close. Esp the extruded ones from scorp. But they are a diff design and prob wont work either. The bolt on ones are machined for an 8mm bolt. The adjustable ones use an adj stud.

got mine done, it was pretty easy... just takes 2 lifters to get the hang of it, then its smooth sailing. lsx spring left, OE 3400 right.

I wonder if this mod will work in 3.1 mpfi lifters?? ?

Maybe you should take one apart and find out

I don't have any flat tappet lifters but i might know where some are...

I'd give it a whirl, but I don't really want to invest in some parts that may not be of use. If you have a 3.1/2.8 lifter laying around and have the spare parts to see if it'll work, please try it out and let me know what the outcome is. I'd appreciate it.

i just want the lifter to hold up to the 7k redline. i plan on pushing this engine (which is how it should be considering the fuker is BUILT)

While were on this topic of lifters, I know I have a few that dont pump up ( atleast when its cold reguardless of engine temp, and sometimes when warm ) I was going to just replace the lifters, but should I even bother with swapping the springs as such or just replace them?
