The 3472-RH EZX's my customer has have no provision to oil the pushrod.

IMO, the bottom line is....... Is splash oiling going to sufficiently lube the bushings or not...... Because that's how the ones my customer has get oil in his OE 440 block.



I don't think you can oil a bushing from splash. We all know a needle bearing needs much less oil than a bushing does.

Personally, I wanted bushing type rollers as far back as 1984 when I lost my first roller lifter. All the engineers I knew said you needed pressure fed oiling to do it. Then years later they came out with bushing lifters.


Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston
