Why so many gloom and doomers on this site

Around 80 grams each if I remember right. With edm holes for lubrication.

I am shooting or minimal mass in the valve train, including conical springs and tool steel retainers and ductile iron rockers. Have not picked pushrods out because I don't have the heads yet. Spring pressures should be relatively light as a function of reduced mass. I'll pick valves after a conversation with my machinist.

Heads will be the promaxx cnc shockers. (Bare)

We pay extra for more Mallory metal when we have to balance something ...then we pay extra for less metal in our lifters.

Pure brilliance.

I was going to spout some numbers off the top of my head and then it had me thinking about Mopar solid lifters and how they were the lightest ones because they use a cap n clip in a hollow lifter body at around 90 grams.
