Is there any adavantage to using the Comp "R" lifters? I'm getting ready to do heads and cam, and I need to replace my lifters while I'm down there, because I'm almost positive one is collapsed. Anyways, are there any adavantage or disadvantages to using the "R" lifters vs. the stock replacement lifters?
Thank.

Re: Is there any adavantage to using the Comp 1) They are cheaper than stock ones
2) They will take high rpms better if you have the correct lifter preload, I have mine at .010 and we plan to buzz my hydraulic setup to 7200-7300.

Re: Is there any adavantage to using the Comp I'm looking to go no higher than 6600 with mine. Do you still think they would be advantageous over the stock pieces?

Re: Is there any adavantage to using the Comp how do you set lifter pre-load? Is it by push rod length??? And what is the desired pre-load, my mods + a TR224, .561 @114?

If you are running a high lift cam the R's will not bleed down as much as the stock lifters.
Exactly what I wanted to know John.
Thanks!

Re: Is there any adavantage to using the Comp
Stock lifters call for .050 preload.
R's call for like .010.
You would need to adjust via the pushrods or by shimming the rockers.
