Rhoads Lifters On Solid Lifter Cam - Setting Valve Lash
harry
I use a trans dap adapter with two of those long filters-WIX or NAPA_WIX or other Wix- hastings
pan is baffeled 10 quart but no air flow hence the cooler
I thought the 6 was 1.75 and the BBC was 1,72- whatever
AFIK Chryslers are using the 2011 mopar lifter do check out the xtra lube mod
do the drilling in a mill or drillpress- ASK ME WHY
hint did know there studs with half inch thread???
do you have a safe room?
Made it through the storms OK. Will go outside tomorrow and check out the roof and trees. No, we don't have a safe room. That's something I would like to include in our 'dream home' if we can build it one day.
Yes, Santucci's book lists the OEM stamped rockers at 1.75 ratio for inline 6 and 1.72 for big block V-8. He states these ratios to be 'nominal' so there may be small variations in various versions of stamped rockers. But I think that as long as the set used is matched one to the others, it will work out OK.
I'm not familiar with the newer Chrysler valve train components. Do you mean the 2011 - 2018 lifters are being retrofitted to the older blocks?
I rec'd the Rhoads V-Max lifters with oiling mod in today's mail. Nice looking piece of machining. The oiling mod is a small flat machined on 1 side. Not very deep but looks to be close to 0.030" in width overall. That's eyeballing it, haven't measured it as yet.
I reckon making a fixture to hold it and machining on a mill would be the way to go if someone was adding such a flat to a lifter themselves. Did you try doing this another way and have the lifter get away from you?
I haven't encountered a rocker stud with 1/2" thread. If you mean for the OEM Chevy iron head, I'm not sure the rocker pedestal has enough meat on it not to be weakened by drilling it so large?
Best regards,
Harry
