:) Good question. I was going to do that. Was looking at these lifters from Hughes...... A bit pricey, but look to be what I would want in a light weight solid lifter with EDM hole......
Hughes Engines
That said...... I decided to see how Rhoads lifters would work for me in this particular engine.
Why? Think of the Rhoads lifter as 'old school VVT' (variable valve timing)....... Only without computers and all the complexity of today's modern methods of accomplishing the same thing.
Doable if I can work out the lash setting and optimal weight of oil to accomplish what I would like to do.
Bonus...... I can pick up a complete set of Rhoads lifters with the optional oiling groove (an old racers trick) for the price of 4 of the Hughes solids I was looking at. So about 1/4 the price of the light weight EDM solids.
Best regards,
Harry
