Re: My 88 Olds wagone U/SA 10 Pennies
Jeff, I just figured out how much I needed for shims on the Monte lifters, then went over to Mark's Bolts and Nuts with my calipers, and got a big batch.. by the pound !.
Left about .010 -.015 of travel and zero lashed it. Goes along with your budget.

Mark,
Like I shared with Jeff, be careful with the washers. Commercial washers, even the high strength ones, are usually Chinesium and will deform. Talking from actual experience with some lifters I shimmed with high grade hardened washers and they squeezed to a thinner dimension. Ended buying some 7075-T6 Aluminum round stock and cut it to the proper length. |

I use stainless steel machine shims to shim lifters. They are available in many O.D./I.D. sizes and thickness. -Al

Hi, Since I am not an Old's guy, just an old guy, I'm not sure that I understand??? I think that you run an .842 diameter roller lifter, but I am not sure???? What dimension is the .920 diameter that you are referencing ???? Just gathering info.. Thanx, Bob

Re: My 88 Olds wagone U/SA 10 Pennies
Im not a Olds guy either or even a engine building but the opportunity came about and I decided to try it and if i doesnt work then Im not out a ton of cash, anyway Olds hydraulic roller lifter is .920 diameter. Seeing how I cant bush down to .842 im stuck with converting to solid.

I didn't see a spec for lifter diameter in the NHRA Technical Bulletin for a 1988 Oldsmobile with a 307ci engine, but classracerinfo.com said .842 lifter????? On line it looks like only the early Oldsmobile's take the .921 lifters???? Have you measured the lifter bores in your 307 block???? I am just confused
