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".

Chris

 

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

 

Yes, these are not std chevy bodies modified, this lifter is engineered specifically for the LS1.

Chris

 

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.

 

How much $$$ are we talking about for a set of the solid rollers?

 

I'll let Alan and the rest of the sponsors set those prices Gomer. As soon as I get the samples I will post some pics.

Chris

 

Non-sponsors will have them too....

BTW Chris... Ed M. still owes me a few "items"...

Ed

 

Tell me about these hydraulic lifters

 

any more info?

 

Chris send me a sample.

 

I'll get a hold or Morel. I have been busy and not talked to them to get an update. I will find out tommorrow and post.

Chris

 

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!

Ed

 

INFO! PLEASE!

cost, part number, any mods to block to use them, etc.....

 

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.

 

Chris, can you give me a call at your convenience? I'd like to talk to you about these as well as a few other items Number in sig.

Mikey

 

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.
