Valve Lifters

VALVE LIFTERS





Valve lifters should be kept in order so they may be installed in their original position. If the lifters are removed, they must be installed in their original location. If replacement is necessary, use lifters with a narrow flat ground along the lower 3/4 of lifter. These flats provide additional oil to the cam lobe and lifter surfaces.
