Stock eliminator Lifters

You may want to keep them for a camshaft brake in fixture. That’s how I use mine. The fixture is a clean block with good cam bearings and has the set of used mains turned upside down to block oil holes held in place by the caps. Old heads with stock used OEM single springs w/o damper. Eight pushrods, two rocker shafts with adjustable rockers, head gasket (the ones you can’t use..... to thick or to thin) , a few head bolts. The following are all clean but used; oil pickup, oil pump with new filter, oil pump drive, cam gear, and timing chain cover. JEGS engine cradle and a fabricated adapter to bolt to the cam so the 1/2” drill will spin the cam, operate oil pump and 1/2 of valve train. Don’t forget to cut hole in front cover drive adapter and prelude everything
Install 16 lifters add six qts Driven BR 30
Install the pushrods in a skip one firing order. If order is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 Instal 1-4-6-7 pushrods. Run for 45 minutes then change pushrods to 8-3-5-2 and run for 45 minutes.
My friend Jerry Newsome figured this out year’s ago. We would still loose a cam and engine when a puck would break.
Thank goodness for the new stuff that doesn’t brake.
