Low lifter oil band
Do you all think oil will have problem getting into this solid flat tappet lifter with the oil band and lifter hole being this low this lifter will be running in a cleveland block.The lowers band and hole is lower than the cleveland oil passageway when the lifter is at its highest travel.

Re: Low lifter oil band
This type of lifter relies upon lifter bore clearance and inertia of the lifter reciprocating in the bore while running to make oil pass to the pushrod. Priming an engine while simply turning the crankshaft is not fast enough to create enough inertia to accomplish this.1972ho wrote: ↑Sun Feb 23, 2020 8:15 pm Do you all think oil will have problem getting into this solid flat tappet lifter with the oil band and lifter hole being this low this lifter will be running in a cleveland block.The lowers band and hole is lower than the cleveland oil passageway when the lifter is at its highest travel.

So Walter are you saying that maybe oil would only pass through this style lifer at maybe idle and above.

Re: Low lifter oil band
Definitely will. Now you need to get oil to the bottom end or put lifter restrictions in.
