Default Re: Adjustable lifters

Most adjustable lifters are junk now days, made in Kocamumga or some place like that. The adjuster is either to hard to move or there to loose. I don't use them, I butt grind like Henry did. Of course I relize not everybody has valve grinders and butt grinders. If I have to use adjustables I get the ones made in Austrailya (spelling) I know Reds Headers sell them and probably others. They are just like the old Johnson lifters. I just used a set a month or so ago. Every one of the adjustas turned with just the same interfearance. You can use the Johnson type to hold them. The best thing is to drill the lifter boss, but if your engine is all together use the tool. Walt
