I can’t find bupkis over on MoPar chat. So I have a question (not sure if you know, but I find it interesting) about the rule of running wet lifters.
Did the class mandate wet lifters because everyone had to run pushrod oiling or did they do it as a punishment because Chrysler didn’t use PR oiling?
That seems to me an arbitrary rule. I’ve seen some local tracks do stupid crap like that, just to be punitive so I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the reason.
BTW, what was the RPM range Sanborn used?
All in all, it seems to me to get the lifters dry, or as dry as you can like gregcon has done and that solves many issues.
I’d love to data log some of the engines where guys are claiming high RPM because I doubt they actually do it. Most tachs are an approximation. The tach on my distributor machine is accurate to about 25 RPM. I checked it with a known ignition box so I’m 100% sure of it. Most tach’s I’ve checked are off near idle and by about 7000 they start getting off again.
So I’m not sure how many guys actually do it.
