Rhoads Lifters On Solid Lifter Cam - Setting Valve Lash

Getting back to enigma57's question. Do not include anything regarding the solid lifter camshaft when making your adjustment. Think of it this way. You depress the lifter plunger with the feeler gauges in place like you are adjusting a solid, but you lightly bottom the plunger out, lock the nut down and slide the feeler gauges out. Basically, you are adjusting the lifter off the BOTTOM of the plunger travel, instead of the top. I am thinking about running some on something myself and I just may, although I will be running a fairly stout hydraulic cam. I think Rhoads lifters can be a good idea in the right application. It's like running several camshaft grinds in one. I've messed with krazykuda Karl about them in the past, but I like them in the right place.....and they do have a right place.

Instead of dismissing them, yall should read up about them. They are pretty innovative.

:thumbsup: Thanks, Rusty! Much appreciated. I have been trying to figure out how best to do this and your explanation helps a lot!

Best regards,
