Mechanical lifters on my wishlist!

[aelred]

as a guide line you want to go between .15-.25 inlet and .35-.45 but this is dependant on cam specs, my rally car on exhaust went as far as .55

you may use old mec lifterunits from older than 85 and from older diesels.... they fit right in, and if you use the thinnest shim (2,2mm) you does have to cut the valves in the upper end.

Well,the old mech shim lifters fit in the lifter bore.
But they can not be used unless you install a longer valve and a longer spring.

The old shim type lifters also have a smaller surface on top,they are also heavier cuz of the shim on top.

Stock springs should be replaced with a lift over approx 11mm
