Gaterman GP-1023 Lifters Long Term Wear

[1FSTRK]

Somebody explain to me how a chain can hold end play to about .002-.005?
Ron

The angle on the lobes will force the cam to the rear of the block as it spins the lifters that are under valve spring pressure. The chain really does not hold it but it does not try to move it. When you go to gear drive the bevel of the teeth tend to fight the lifters for control so the button is added to keep the cam in place.

Ah yes, I've heard the noise those things can make if the clearance gets too big. Occasional snapping sound if I recall on some GMs.

looking for lifters for my 57h (.030 HG) 103 build... was considering those but not anymore... wich one are your favorites now ?

[Just Nick]

S&S standard or premium, GMR lifters, HD Street Performance lifters. There is a list of good lifters out there if you want a set that has been proven then S&S comes to mind

[BUBBIE]

SnS Standard are Good...140$ area, Many using them...

SnS premium for More money...

GMR has some...

HD Street Performance ( Don) sells a good set that he checks Before they are sent out to make sure they Hold oil properly.. I run a set of his, they are really Quiet... About the same as SnS standards cost...

ADDED: Don sels Delphi Lifters Pre Checked by him to be working in his Range of Acceptance...

  ...with you N-gin.
I ran two different sets of the early Gaterman lifters...and I had no issues with either set.
Apparently their materials used in the production of them and their quality control spiraled down hill quickly.
It is a shame because I think it is one of the best designed lifters I've ever seen.
For now I'm not taking any chances and I'm sticking with the tried and true S&S lifters.

We didn't take pictures but will next time, my GMR's still look like new at 14,000 miles on them, no scuffing, rollers smooth and they still take awhile to bleed down as well.
