Thread: Crane retro fit roller lifters?

Tweet

the deal is if the lifters work ok then they just maybe fine .but if sand gets in the valving then there is nothing they can do to get the marks and wear out as it.s more cost effective to just buy a new set and know there not some thing ticking way getting ready to fail in time . really hard to say if they are fine. the way a SBC oils i would think see just as much junk go thru the lifter is as the oil thru the cam bearings. but your block should be priority oiling on that block you have . you could call crane see if they will take them apart clean them and put them back together . but i look in to this with another brand of hyd roller lifter they would not take them apart to rebuild... it was very hard just to get them to inspect for wear them finally they did .i would worry more about the axle pins and bearing s on the rollers them self as they see oil spalsh
