SOLID roller lifters for a 5.7L hemi

I talked with one of the tech's that had the oprotunity of tearing down the BES 700 hp Engine Master's build. The Jessel setup use's old school technology and pumps the lifters through a side hole in the lifter and oil is filled to the lifter through the lifter galley instead of being top oiled. They can only spin the motor to 6500 rpm as per rules of the contest which I feel the lifters gave out around 5800 rpm, however I'd like to see the complete dyno sheet.

If you want to get as close to a solid lifter using hydraulic's I would recomend this....Either buy yourself new lifters or disassemble and clean your current ones to make sure there is no oil under the cup and the bottom of the lifter.

Get yourself adjustable pushrod checkers. One for the intake, one for the exhaust.

With the pushrod checker, bottom out the pluncher on the lifter to zero lash.

Most engine builders would then subtract between .020"-.040" depending on the ramp rates of the cam and then order custom pushrods. It's an old Stock Eliminator trick thats been used since the early 70's and still works today.
