Any chance of solid lifters?

Are you guys planning on fabbing up an adjustable solid lifter?

I saw you have rockers designed. I was kind of interested myself in a solid lifter thats adjustable by adding shims to the central part of the lifter (2 piece lifter) similar to Jesel's design.

Thanks in advance.

The solid lifter that we already have on the market can be machined to the proper tolerance required by any wild camshaft profile. We leave additional material for machining. Albeit, it is not as you said, adjustable.

Wouldn't happen to have a link to a picture and a price on those would you? I didn't see them listed on your website or any of the dealer's sites.

Because the LSJ, unlike the L61 does have oiling holes that go through the lash adjuster, wouldn't it be a good idea to implement them into an aftermarket one as well, to promote durabilty at the roller follower's tip?

Sweet. Now you can start selling these with your reground cams and we'll have a total valvetrain solution.

So would these have to be ground down precisely to install them in a head w/ TriFlow Stg2 cams, or will the 1.75mm be take up the appropriate slack?

They have to be ground to .005-.007" lash at the base circle of the cam.
