Default Fitting solid roller & tie bar lifters.

Building a ls2 6.0 liter with a solid roller cam using tie bar Crane lifters. Is there any oil mods necessary to run these as it will be a club circuit car spinning to around 7500 max rpm. The motor has the DOD option drilled into the block but was never hooked up from factory. I was told that I will need to bush the lifter gallerys to block off the extra holes on the 4 cylinders but I cant understand why. Can any one shed some light on this matter, thanks.

Many solid lifters have oil restriction built into the lifter. Pushrods can also be purchased with oil restrictor built in. You will have to ask your lifter manufacturer if the lifter has a restrictor built in.
