Is there any special instructions for these lifters or are they just drop in and go? I plan on soaking them in oil, is this all that I need to do? Any tips or suggestions?

Thanks,
Matt

 

Soak them in oil, put them in just like the stock ones would go in.

 

Thanks, just wanted to be certain.

how much are these lifters and what advantage do they offer over stock ones?

 

That's how we install them too.

 

Slowverado:

They are about $200 from most sponsers. One of my stock lifters collapsed after a few hundered miles with my H/C setup so I'm replacing all the lifters. One of the Thunder guys told me they are more heavy duty than stock or stock replacements. They are only $10 more than OE replacements, so I figured what the hell.

gottcha, so they're basically like a double chain, not totally nessecary but cheap insurance. i might have to look into this when i start putting the 6.0 back together. they'll go well with the yella terra rockers i just ordered.

 

Comp "R" lifters like less preload. Advantages of using these lifters, is higher quality, and added strength.

 

Do these require a different length pushrod? I just installed a set of these, with a cam thats .030" smaller base circle, and the heads are milled .030".

 

They don't require a different length pushrod. They are the same dimensions as the stock lifters.

I just pushed them into the plastic lifter holders and inserted them back into the block - four at a time!...easy...

...make sure everything is extremely clean before installing them, however! ..i used paper towels and some compressed air...
