Re: Lifter rule in Stock
If I misunderstand this change, sorry! The guys who use solid lifter engines are getting screwed over do to no chance on manipulating the lifters. It's bad enough that .010 in a hydraulic is considered OK by NHRA. The engines HP were based on the lifter working the way the manufacturer designed it, not the way they are now with a built in lash. Might as well let everyone use solid roller cams and get over with it.

Re: Lifter rule in Stock
If all cars can have roller lifters then what are the penalties for HP all non roller lifter cars get HP, lets say 40 hp. What are the rollers lifters and cams worth, don't tell me they there are no gains there. I few people cry about there ceramic lifters coming apart now they want roller lifters for free. Nobody forced you to put ceramic lifters in, the rules don't state you have to use ceramic lifters.

Re: Lifter rule in Stock
This is the actual language on the 2017 rule change.
It's not clear enough and it needs to be explained better. It does not say that hydraulic lifters can be replaced with solids. It still gives the requirements for checking hydraulic lifters. |
