Bushing roller cam and lifters with key or pin locators have been around since Noah was a boy, circa GM Detroit Diesel for example its only in recent times that automotive performance has adopted roller designs and then plain bushing rollers in lifters.
Good stuff, but if you are running a Hemi alcohol or fuel block they do not have pressurized oil to the lifter. I have been told I cannot use a bushed style lifter.
If you have any type of issues. How do you get The particulates cleaned out from behind those groves in the bushing? I have mad respect for these guys. But I think before you pull the trigger on this, Consider steve morris opinion on Thi bar Versus this type of lifter.
I enjoy that John assumes you know what he's talking about. Lake keeps narrating for people new to the game. Depends who the video creator think the viewer is. I am trying to be less angry/reactive in 2025.
THIS video is one of the MORE informative sensible teachings on physics dynamics on ALL YT about the RRA needle bearing failure phenomenal topic. It is applicable ALL across the board on ALL RRA with trunions. NONE are exempt from these “physics” issues, it’s all a matter of your cam profile affecting needle bearing life span! And the oil of course! R-R-R-R.
Creators need to start respecting the viewer. In 2025 I don't want you wasting even 5 seconds of my time. TH-cam is always pushing them to make longer videos for monetization. Enshitification/Dead Internet.
Super informative! Thanks!

In a word...!!!!AWESOME!!!! 🙂
Thanks guys,

What about the older model non Mamba bushed lifter any thoughts on pro's and cons Vs the newer lifter.
Isky has had the non-needle bearing bushed lifters out for awhile now. Is Morel just copying Isky?
Morel developed and patented bushed lifters in the 80s. They pioneered it.

Do an oil change every quarter mile.
Stop sucking Steve Morris balls and race, not be a arm pit quarter back
close your pie and let the old man speak; i mean, damn, your squeaker drowned him out every second.
Lake is a very sharp guy who adds a lot to the discussion.
I enjoy that John assumes you know what he's talking about.

Surface area: you get more with a roller against the lobe. That said... I still prefer flat tappets for lower lift [sub 0.500"] applications

Good content. Intro and outro are too long!

All those needles for the bearing is a recipe for failure.
Its funny how Harley Davidson never used needle bearing lifter.
They do and they do have roller needle failures.
Thank you for your knowledge and videos USA 🇺🇸 TRUMP 2024 2024
