solid lifters name brand "sealed power" made in china, not much to it, everything else is backordered, any input?

Is the application a cheater cam for an NHRA Stocker, using the typical spring force associated with that type of cam?

If so, then I’d go another route.

There are howards edm on ebay but spendy. Also comp std. solid and edms.

All in the $275 to $350 area.

I'm an EDM fan myself; last thing I need is a wiped FT cam.
Do it once, do it right.

EDM lifters were made and designed to be used in BB Chevy motors due to their poor lubrication of the lifters and cam lobes and tight lifter to lifter bore clearances: work:
Every BB Mopar I've check the lifter bores on have a BUNCH of lifter to lifter bore clearances
I've primed more than one BB,SB and Gen 2 426 C.I. hemi motors with the lifter gallery expose, they flat push a lot of oil out around the lifters under pressure
My message is we don't need EDM lifters, use a good oil high in Zinc content instead to make the cam and lifters live

I’m sold on EDM lifters. I ran them for five years on a .650 lift solid cam and everything looks great.

Maybe a return to some of the old ways, machining the old parts and reusing materials, is in order.

Of course, if you don't happen to have any used lifters on hand to reface, then this won't help a whole lot.

We've all been told repeatedly to throw them away at every rebuild for many years, maybe time for that kind of thing to stop.

I've had several sets of OEM Mopar solid hemi lifters, both sizes, and OEM Mopar brand low tapered hydraulic lifters refaced in Seatle and reused them, works good, last a long time

I know several builders that use these guys, rebuilding lifters is all they do.

Have a name of the company that did it for you ?

The Chrysler service manuals show a lifter bore size of 0.9050" to 0.9058". I believe the aftermarket has sized their lifters for a slightly smaller size, resulting in the lifter bore flooding. I talked to Billy Godbold at CC about it. He said he changed the lifter size when he first got to Comp, but they had complaints from the Brand X racers and they changed it back.

jonescams@bellsouth.net has American made flat tappet cam and lifters, he also designs some very good camshaft profiles, he picked my car up a couple tenths. I have run the EDM solid lifters with good results and on hydraulic cams I have grooved the lifter bores for better oiling seems to work very well. But in changing with the times I just have been building most mild engines with a hydraulic roller.

But really if your pumping enough oil to all the needed places is there a downside to edm lifters.

Ive some older vintage cams I feel will be fine with std solids, I rum many comp solid cams that some dont like due to the steep ramps and in that application isnt more lube dead center of the lifter a benefit in higher stress situations.?
