Solid Lifters

What lifters are you using with stage 2 heads and on center block? Thanks

What lifters are you using with stage 2 heads and on center block? Thanks

I originally had Comp Cams SB Chevy offset lifters and switched to Crower offset lifters with the HIPPO oiling. The Crower lifters were made a little better at the time with a orbit formed bead to retain the axle instead of fragile clips. I'm sure Comp has stepped up there game but think I would still stick with Crower.
My current Crower lifter are needle roller type and will consider the solid bushed type on the next freshening. For max effort I would consider going to a .903" lifter for the added strength of the larger axle. From what I hear the .875" lifter axle is no larger than the .842".

I had inquired about the Weber racing lifters that they introduced a couple of years ago but never got any feedback. I know that Jesel makes an ultra expensive set of lifters also. I know that one of my on centers has an offset set of Isky's in there.

I'm going to be using these isky lifter with a built in off set . But I do also have these other ones that looks like it would be easy to swap cams with

With the offset lifters you guys have, how far out is the pushrod from being straight?

I am running 1.65/1.55 Jesel rockers and if I remember correctly ( I will look in the box with the old pushrods and lifters) it was a mixture of centered and off centered lifters. From a geometry stand point I think all of them were straight, the offset corrected that. If you notice the hole on your stage heads, it may have been widened oblong to account for the shift. I will try to get some pics tomorrow to verify.

FWIW the actual offset on a Crower lifter is about .150".
