Lifter Trays????
Lifter Trays???? I'm getting new lifter trays for my h/c swap. The dealership doesn't stock 'em so I need to order them. Do I need FOUR or EIGHT of part # 12551162 (lifter tray)?
Thanks

Four, one cup for every cylinder (one holds int/exhaust) paired adjacent cylinders.

Are you sure? I saw these, and wasn't sure myself!

you need a total of 4. 2 on each side. each tray holds 2 intake and 2 exhaust lifters. they come in a box of 5 though....i know...i dont know why either

I was figuring $4 each plus $5 to ship. When I was looking for them, my local dealer wanted $6 each for them and I had to order 5 not four (which is stupid IMO).
I was thinking of drilling holes in these, but decided against it.

Why? It's a worthwhile upgrade. Drilling a 1/2" hole on the lower face of the lifter tray, one below each lifter, will drain more oil, which helps to manage oil better in the engine.
