RE: bushing lifterbires

["Earl H. " <earlh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with Don. 1st - Total waste of money - 2nd - Unless your running a
big 
roller cam and are looking for an extra 1HP and want to spend 500 bucks to
get 
it, Why?...I go the other way, I use 1/2 thou undersize AMC mechanical
lifers with a 
a 10 thou hole drilled in the bottom face to constantly oil the cam. Of
course, you need 
a good oil pump. Lots of ways to skin a cat.

It reduces your bank account. Little else. It is used in prostock style
engies or was when they used stock style blocks. It prevents oil pressure
loss in the event of pushrod failure and lifter popout. It is also used to
correct geometry of lifter bores from factory tolerence to perfect but like
many intricate machining tricks often has potential for more error than less
unless it is done by the very best. In a street or braxcket engine (under
650 hp for instance) it would be a total waste of good Money. Gains if any
would be unmeasurable.
