Default Morel Lifters

Which is better. the Link bar type, or just the normal tray design? its only a 30 dollar difference. I had a stocker take a dump on me this past week. needless to say I may have a bad valve also....

I have cam and I am now going with some new heads, or refurbish my current ones.

but which style would you recommend?

The link bar setup just rids you of the trays, but I went with the normal style with use of the trays... No problems for me, I got the High Rev ones and I take mine to 7500...

Shoot a PM to Chris Straub and get his advice. I would lean towards the link bar myself as oil drainback from the heads would be much improved.

I drilled holes in my lifter trays for this reason. Just another idea for the OP.

I had a couple in one tray that no longer held the lifter snugly at all. I just went with the link bar... One less thing to worry about IMO. Nice pieces.
