>IMO Isky lifters are about the best available, they are offset and are longer which means a shorter pushrod for longevity, plus the ability to add a rev kit. I broke 2 comp cams lifters before, the old style and the new style but that was on the race car which I'm
Mmm-kay, I have what I'd bet is a broken lifter already <sigh>. Sometime Sat night the valvetrain developed clatter like it needed adjustment already, odd after only a few days running but no biggie, but removed the valvecover and the #6 exh has about 1/8-1/4" lash clrnc. There's the clatter
Something has let go, either cam or lifter. The rockers and pushrod are ok. I have the Comp Super Rollers and a Comp 224 Extreme Street roller profile. So my question is, what makes the Isky's better lifters for a street/strip engine, assuming I have to replace at least one broken lifter now? Engine hasn't been to 7000 rpm yet. Springs are about 225 lbs seat, ~ 550 lbs open. TIA.
PS If the cam is toast I may step up a bit now too. Anyone have input on which to move to, the 232 or the 236? The mill is a 274", GN1R's, comes up excellent as is with a ~ 36-3800 stall, has 16-18 in Hg vacuum at idle currently. TIA.
