Default SDPC comes through on Morel Lifters $366!

Well I got my order from SDPC for a set Lunati 72432 Lifters today. Opened up the box and there sat my shiney new Morel Lifters...

So now whats the latest concesus on lifter preload with these lifters? I've seen anything from .010-.060...



SDPC sells them for $366.00 plus shipping.


Thanks yet again for a great deal SDPC!

min .020 max .030

Your min will probably make a tiny bit more power but will be noiser than the max.

I got the same lifters for about the same price from another sponsor.... but yeah, they are morels.

Got mine for a good bit less than that from another sponsor.

Set them up at .025.

My Morel's are set at 0.040 which is mid-way in the range I got from talking with Rick Morel. He recommended 0.030 - 0.050" of preload.

More precise tolerances, better internals, better valving and better able to lubricate and setup for sitting lower in the bore due to the smaller base circle on aftermarket cams.

How do you set the clearances with these lifters?
