I wish I would've bushed this block. Just did not have the time last time it was apart. Live and learn. Plus then it'd add yet another step if I ever damage this block and have to replace. Hopefully these Comp solids take care of everything.

With your lift you should be good, not good for the lift I will have though.
Keep us updated with your motor! Turbo rules |

Well, the comp lifters are a no-go. Oil leakage city out the bottom, wheel cutouts expose the oil galley by a lot. Plus, they fit way sloppy in the bore. Junk.
What are my other options that actually work? |

Has anybody tried gatermans.

The flat tappet hydraulic lifters I am using in my 401 build, soon to be completed, are from Hylift Johnson and measure 0.9046 just like the last set.
For my Javelin 401 engine I am using their ultra light weight edm solid flat tappets and am going to turn it in the neighborhood of 8k They do not have a retro hydraulic roller listing for AMC in their catalog but I would give them a call, they make a great product and may be able to come up with something. 800-441-1400 |

ghinmi, which part number Comp rollers did you get? 848-16? 861-16? Did you measure the diameter?
The Gaterman lifters are listed as same for Chrysler, so likely not correct diameter: http://www.gatermanproducts.com/index_files/Page404.htm Could buy a pair of Crane's to check? Hydraulic rollers: http://www.cranecams.com/product/cart.php?m=product_list&c=11199 http://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/crn-86532-2/overview/ Solid rollers (the ones they list are for Mopar, so likely not correct diameter): http://www.cranecams.com/product/cart.php?m=product_list&c=11232 Can't say if these will be any better? I've got the old Crane 86518-16 in my engine since 2008 or so? Hope this helps,RD. Edited by Red Devil - Oct/24/2014 at 9:24pm |

They're the 861-16. Have not measured them but they are a very sloppy fit compared to the Johnsons or other flat tappets I've run in this motor.
I might as well just buy a set of everything offered for an AMC at this point, it's only money and I've already wasted enough of it this month on lifters and pushrods. |

I'm just wondering if any one has had a set of those gatermans and measured them.
I think johnson will make the to your diameter spec. I'll have to check with my guy, but I'm sure they said that they will. It might be a custom order though. |
