Again have to agree with Ed. Bushing lifters is an upgrade im guessing he won't be voluntarily putting them in any high pressure high rpm motor.

Safe transmission , safe lifters and safe camshaft profile, all because Ed is a greenhorn, and doesn't know how to do anything.

No wonder it's a pig.

4.42 @ 157 is a pig.

the more this clueless nobody speaks that ain't got shyt, ain't done shyt and don't know shyt, the more he shows all the idiot he is.

Five hundredths slow in the front, Oh it's a pig alright.

Anyone who knows, knows if you knew how to work on the pig, you would be.

Instead your lying tongue is working overtime.

What's New?

says the idiot that's never owned/raced a dragster with a nothing special cut up shyt box that hasn't made a pass in 4 years and was DQ'd and before that it sat another 4 years and now since he can't sell this POS for what he wants, he's putting it back on the street all because he ain't got the skills nor the car to compete. he's just a idiot talking out of his azz about shyt he don't have a clue.

"a pig".

Shouldn't you be on the phone with BTE getting the pig sorted out?

my pig is all sorted out, was since the 3rd hit.

PAR, BTE and ATM nailed it!

WEll, sure as shyt I lost a lifter at a track rental Friday. I found it yesterday at Gainesville when I heard a squealing noise while Warming the engine. It's an Isky EZX bushing Lifter. No notice whatsoever as I track lash changes. I had just lashed the valves before the test session.

No idea what the damage is. BAM lifters will get a hard look. I think they are here in Florida. If so that makes them a local product and likely to be used next. Gosh, I hope I caught the damage soon enough.

I can not say this for sure it is only my opinion. I think the bushed type lifters need cleaner oil and I do not think the RACE type filters remove small enough particles. The street filters remove smaller particles but restrict flow more. So what I did is I run TWO of the LARGE truck style filters in parallel so all of the oil has to go through one of them and there is not much restriction.
I think all race engines need cleaner oil and I am not comfortable with the race filters that do not remove small particles. Sure it adds some weight but I think the cleaner oil is worth it.

Clean and lighter weight oil with bushed lifters. That advice came directly from Crower Tech.

I found two advantages to lighter weight oil on my car.
1. Car runs a little faster.

2. The oil drains back into pan faster so I do not lose oil pressure when I get on the brakes hard.

keep the idle speed above 1000 in gear if you can so the oil pump moves decent volume at idle.

nomad check your PM

Don't be surprised to hear the new all aluminum PAR engine everyone is discussing, has needle bearing lifters, either.

BAM part # 3007

55 or 60mm cam? Babbit or roller cam bearings?

Where are the specs on this engine? Link?

end of season report, the BAM .937 bushed lifters in my 648, part # 3007 with 150+ licks on them checked out all good and are back in my engine for the 2022 season.

I have a new set of BAM .937 DLC lifters ready to go. I just wish my rods and pistons would show up.

If you can't get it done on the track, have your friends in the tower make up a fantasy story.

Pretend to win.
