Dose there have to be any Block prep to run a solid roller cam and lifters? Can you switch back to a regular cam after it has been done?

 

If you get the right lifters they are made for LS1 motors. No machining needed.

I was thinking of going away from a solid Roller NA motor that was in the car when I bought it to a twin turbo and I was wondering how many Parts I could use from the original motor witch only has 1000 mile on it but has a Blown head gasket.

 

hmmm...solid roller turbo setup

 

What I've 'heard' in previous discussions here is that if you're going to get a little wild on the lift, you would probably need to bushing the lifter bores, for oil pressure. Seems that at about .65" lift is where low oil pressure started to happen unless you had bushed bores. If you're staying below .650, and running something like a Crane lifter, you don't have to do anything (that's what I'm running). My lift is .646 minus ~.009 lash (effective .637). I don't have any oil pressure problems at all.

Talk to Geoff @ Thunder Racing, or Alan Futral about it. They both know 'em pretty well.

 

All of our solid roller engines have bushed lifter bores. I feel it's the best way to go. We have never had oil pressure problems with the solid rollers.

Thanks,

If my motor has that done to it how would that affect going back to a standard lifter?
