Tired of the preload crap. What lifters can i use?
I installed the comp r lifters before i knew of all of this preload stuff. On my new heads, i just want to do the 22ftlbs on the rockers and be done with it. I will be running comp 977 double springs and want to know what lifters to use? Like i said, i just want to tighten the rockers down without all of the preload crap. Any suggestions?

Same reason you still adjust a SBC lifter eventhough its hydrolic. Youre putting tension on the piston inside the lifter. Too much tension and the lifter cant do its job. If youve ever tightened a lifter too tight, youd know why preload is important. Its not like its solid. Its hard to explain Hydrolic lifters arent self adjusting.

I will find out about Morels hyd. lifter for the LS1's and what has to be done. The lifter is done with testing and should be ready for the market. If they're protoype of the LS1 lifter is anything like the one for Fuel Cars, it will also win an NHRA Championship.
