Tearing my engine down for the new build.
The push rod on the right is with the new lifter. Both lifters are on their base circles in the picture.You can see how much straighter it is. The lifter bores will be bushed, recessed and chamfered for pushrod clearance. They do not touch but are close. This Engine for over 6 years was taken over 9000 and the only wear we saw on the engine was the pushrod ends. We are hoping the lighter and straighter parts will help with HP, Torque, and wear. I can't wait until we weight the new rods and crank next to the old parts coming out. it will also get a belt drive with a aluminum damper. None of the new parts or old parts in the engine will be reused. The only thing we are using is the bare head castings, valve covers and the block. everything else that was on this engine is being replaced. If finances allow I would like to get and HRE sheet metal intake , The are right up the road. $4k
