Re: World alu block; removing material for lifter tie-bars.
I don't think he meant actually flip the tie bar. From the picture, take the lifter on the left, flip it over and put it in the right lifter bore. Now the "adjustable" part of the tie bar is on the left, not the right. This should work as long as they aren't offset pushrod cups. No. One l...

Re: World alu block; removing material for lifter tie-bars.
Thanks, Bill appreciate the email- contact. No, they cant be flipped, no the tiebars won’t come off to swap what lifter is ried up (Even if tiebar is bolted to the lifter, it has some kind of ‘special treatment’ according to the Jesel- tech. Who also told me grinding away mateial is the solution.) I...

World alu block; removing material for lifter tie-bars.
Yaa. Hi. Got a question... Season starts in 4 weeks. I'm stressed.... New lifters arrived last week. Tested cyl1/2 all good, but when installing the rest to bolt the heads down, I figured the tie-bars hit the transverse "Braces" connecting the two banks. These braces have oil- channels, sh...

Re: SBF ISKY offset solid lifters; part number!
Thank you. I have heard about instances like you describe earlier, but Chevy. Anyway I didn’t order Comp. I felt what they had to offer was a bit down from others. As I understand, their ‘Elite’ - lifters are no longer available? Abandoned Morel and Isky, too, snd went to someone who’s never let me ...

Re: SBF ISKY offset solid lifters; part number!
Hi. I stopped using stud- mounted rockers 10 years ago. Yes, I’m aware of the offset lifter dilemma. However, with 50? 1/4- mile races a year, I do not expect it to cause any trouble, even in an aluminum block.
I already tried centered lifters. Tore my rockers off their bearings…

Re: Anyone been able to reach Isky Cams lately?
Hi. I’ve contaded them by email and on their facebook-page 3 times for about 6 and 3 months ago, without any reply. Asked for help with a part number.
In the end I figure it out, but I still invested my cash in Jesel- parts instead.

Makes right intaker for Fords, so the "Yates" lifters for SBF should be the correct part for what I'm doing. As far as I understand.

Re: SBF ISKY offset solid lifters; part number!
HI! I had no luck getting feedback from Isky by mail or on their Facebook- page.... If anyone has any information on my question, I appreciate it... BTW: Might be easier to answer. Speaking of a lifter- what does right or left offset imply? I mean; it all depends if you see the lifters from the cent...

Re: SBF ISKY offset solid lifters; part number!
Thank you. I have written off the BAM lifters as their body dia is less than 0.874". I do not have data on the ISKY lifters, so it's bit of a gamble.....

SBF ISKY offset solid lifters; part number!
Ho, Ho Ho.... No, Santa don't have anything for me this year, so I'll have to come up with some laternative solutions. Have been waiting since september for a set of Morel lifters, but delivery is not even comfirmed yet. This is for stock lifter bores in a 302 Ford- block. I need the intakes offset ...

Re: Double headgaskets?
Thank you all for insights. Yes, 2 gaskets probably not enough, I’d need 3, actually. I think the Cometics ar 0.14’’ So…. either I’ll find someone who can make a shim, or I’ll change rhe pistons. My only options, I suppose. However…. The sandwich principle- two stock gaskets and a Cometic steel inbe...

Double headgaskets?
Hello. A solution I never used before, so I just want to know if it's usually OK to use two headgaskets stacked. Some say there will be sealing problems between the gaskets. Regular headgaskets w/ steel fire-rings, composite. Maybe sealant around water ports between gaskets? Background is a shortblo...
