340 retrofit hydraulic roller lifters

I'm going to be running Morel hydraulic rollers in my 273. That may be what yours are that have been reboxed. I didn't have the same problem as the OP has, but my lifter bores were too worn and had to be bushed. They were done on a CNC machine, and all the bushings were drilled with an .060 oil hole to lube the lifters. I've seen a 360 run on the dyno with the same lifters and same bushing setup, and they were quiet. I'm just wondering why others would tick?


In your case bushing the lifter bores is the fix. Just my opinion but bushing the lifter bores for anything less than a race engine is wasted money unless it has worn out bores like yours did.

Bushing a lifter bore won’t make a bad lifter stop ticking. Unless the bore is worn out. That was my point earlier.
