Default New LS1 Hyd and Solid roller lifters. . .

I'll have samples of the lifters in a few days from Morel and will post some pictures of them. The solid will feature proprietory oiling directly to the roller for extended life. Both are fully machined from bar stock and centerless ground to an OD tolerance of +/- .0003".

what about solid rollers with very high lift (the oiling problem). Will these solve that issue?

These lifters will be a VERY good option for a solid roller setup. and very nice looking pieces. The locating band of the lifter is raised up approx .132" vs the Crane drop in lifters. This is where you run into oil pressure issues with high lobe lift cams. They will be a little cheaper than the new Comp's and easier than making other types fit.

What is better about these lifters Chris? I haven't ever had any lifter problems really so far but I know the quality is supposed to be better on these I guess. It's always better to have more choice in anything. I knew these guys did some specialty lifters but not LS1 stuff.

When you say both do you mean a hydraulic and solid roller model?

Erik,

The Gen-1 lifters are so sweet I didn't want to install them in an engine...

Like little jewels...

You'll like them, A LOT!

Are they as picky to pre-load as the comp R's?

Likely they wont have as much plunger travel either so they probbably wont want a ton of preload either. besides, preload slows you down whatcha want that for?

It's not that I want it there, but setting up shims kinda sucks for those that don't want to go with adjustables. If you could use just one set shim and allow for the lifter to make up the variance, it would be much easier.

I'm just glad more stuff is becoming available for these engines. We've not had any lifter trouble yet but I know Morel is a nice product.
