Stock lifters

[Jim Kaekel]

That's what Super Stock is for.

Do they still have to use a checking lifter to check lift if the engine has solid lifters?
I always thought this was why the rule was enacted.

If you're using a SOLID lifter then the Techs should use the lifter that's in the engine. I've been bit by lifter height before when going through a teardown in the days before the Techs had an adjustable lifter.

I don't race in Stock but I do race a super stock car. I don't see why they don't allow the roller lifters in all stock engines. Many of the newer cars come from the factory with roller lifters. Might even things out a bit and help some of the old iron keep up with the newer stuff. Stock is pretty much like the old time super stock now.

There are a lot of older combos out there where aftermarket roller cams / lifters are not available and wouldn't be able to take advantage of the benefits, so much for a level playing field.

Well Mike, the way I see it, roller lifters would drive up the price of an "average" Stocker way beyond the price of a new cam and roller lifters and it would only benefit a certain few combos assuming that the stock lift rule and the rotating assembly rule stay. It wouldn't help any of my stuff one bit.

Billy, it will take a whole lot more than roller lifters to help that junk you race. Just sayin'.
