My comp Evo link bar lifters for ls came with one lifter that was for a sbc. 5 oil holes out of the set were 50% smaller that all the others. Take this information and do with it as you see fit. Good luck everyone
If you put an oil port through the rolled groove oil galley and a oil port on the roller end and then flare that end it should cause oil to squirt out over the roller bearings in a cone pattern!
@@cammontreuil7509 lol. My cam is a Comp Cam and I will stick with them . Crower is a good company and if I was using their cam, I would follow their advice.
YOU CAN RUN SOLID LIFTER ON A HYDRAULIC CAM BUT NOT A HYDRAULIC LIFTER ON A SOLID CAM. THIS IS A GENERAL ANSWER TO THE QUSTION THAT COMP AVOIDED. I AM RUNNING SOLID LIFTERS ON A HYDRAULIC CAM WITH NO ISSUE. BEEN RUNNING THIS FOR A FEW YEARS NOW WITH NO PROBLEMS. I AM NOT AN EXPERT SO DONT DO WHAT I DO
Great to finally hear some detail on short throw hydraulic lifters. This is what i have as reccomended for my application, but is good to understand why. P.s the preload setup you mentioned for them us not in the instructions. It only states to do 1/4 turn technique??. Part number 15853-16
Its the difficult part of having a set of instructions because one size doesn't fit all. How much RPM are you trying to turn with your hydraulic roller set up? What are your spring pressures?
@@Compcams1976 thanks for reply, my engine is dart 401, afr 220 heads, forged internals 10.75:1, 98 octane. cam is custom grind .637 .621 valve lift, 254 260 duration @50 108 LSA. Lifters are part number 15853-16. Springs are part number 953-16. Not been on dyno yet but loves revving up to the current 6800rpm limiter.
Lifter clearance. One millionth of an inch ? After saying such bs I started to question everything this "tech" said. But money he has never assembled an engine and got it running adjusted and tuned.
That's not very kind. You are correct in saying that the "millionths of an inch" is not correct, but there are more polite ways to point it than that. Let's try to bring some honor and integrity to the comments section everyone!

@@bradsimpson4899 that's cool but what about waiting on hold for tech support 2 hr's... My motor has 10 k in mods, This video should have been edited. Small details will RUIN AN ENGINE.
What is the clearance between the inner slug and the main body? He was not talking about the clearance between the lifter and the bore of the block. That's more like 0.0015" and 0.002"

What is Comp doing about the epidemic of lifter failures? How do we know, that if we buy Comp, were getting the quality we need??

Good morning guys thanks for the View on comp lifters love the product
Thanks Todd!
Thank you for the lifter cleaning advice. What are your thoughts on using a solid roller lifter on a hydraulic roller cam?
Its always a good idea to consult with our techs before making such a decision based on what you're looking to achieve with the engine.
Not designed for it ramps are different between the two cams. Consult Crower Cams they know more than generic com cam.

Comp cams have such a bad reputation for horrible lifters there’s no way in hell that I would think about buying lifters from comp cams !!!!!!!
