Stock Valve Lift

Jeff, I asked this very question a week or two ago. I was told by a division tech director that NHRA supplies the solid lifter for checking lift on a hydraulic cam and you may not supply your own. I was working on a hydraulic lifter engine, and was going to just get an extra solid lifter and check everything, and give the guy the lifter to keep with him. I was told NHRA would not use any lifter I was going to provide, they would use their own.

I don`t how "oddball" a 5.0 Mustang Stocker is, but I`ve torn down 3 times here in Div.6, and the certification team never had a "solid" Ford hyd. roller lifter in their kit. The first time, I ended up having to disassemble on of my own lifters,& "plug" it. After that, I just kept a plugged lifter of my own in my tool box, and on 1 ocassion, the cert .team borrowed my checking lifter.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that they don't have a lifter for that. They certainly should. Shoot, I have one that I use to check piston to valve clearance.
