Offset Lifters: Yes or No

looking at straightening the pushrod angles up, a .180 offset would be real nice, is it worth the risk.

 

On what ? Hemi , Chevy ? I had them on a 2400hp Chevy that turned 10,000 rpms . They lasted for 4 seasons before a rebuild . They were jesel , you get what you pay for .

 

a custom hemi, was concerned the side load could cause probs sooner than later, thanks for your feedback, sounds like theres nothing to worry about

 

Tried it on oure hemi, 4 runs (9000rpm 400lbs) and we broke a linkbar and the lifter rotaded and made som ugly marks in the camshaft.
But if you still wanna try it i have a couple of new and used (4 runs) ones that you can buy cheap, i dont wanna use them anyway.
Send mail to ake(at)eliassons.info if intrested.

 

Mine were keyed jesel. .937. Offset on the intake side with PAC 1360 springs and 500lbs on the seat. Never had a problem until I switched to lsm lifters
