lifter metering plates

Run to Rund · 10-06-2015, 10:44 PM

I am using solid lifters with 0.520" OD, 0.015" thick oil feed metering plates (for the pushrods-rockers) that have four offset holes in them. I would like to find plates with no hole or with a single small, offset hole. Does anyone know where I might find some, or what lifter might come with what i need in it.

I made some recently out brass shim stock using gasket punch,if you have room sandwich it in with existing plates.
I used .005 thick most likely you will need to cut small groove in plate you have now so oil can get through.
The ones I did once the were in there they couldn't get out.
