Rhoads hyd flat tappet lifters setup confused?

Rusty what are you talking about? I’m going to follow the instructions by Rhoads which says I don’t have to pump up or preload with oil before installation. That’s basically what you said isn’t it? You don’t have to pre-fill or soak them before installation. Now I understand why. I’m taking your advice am I missing something? Rhoads lifters are they a waste of money because they are junk? If that’s the case oh well I already bought them so I’ll have to give them a shot. I’m replacing my 20yr old Mopar performance hyd flat tappets because several are trashed. They won’t stay pumped up.


I like Rhoades lifters and have run them for decades...

You either like them or not.. I like them...
