Randy i was just askin a question. i run those lifters from rev in my bike. also know Reggie did a lot of business with rev performance.
randy we all do not have hidden agendas like some do. i was not bashing i was asking.

 

Bob Wood has JUST released his new lifter, that the world leaders in the automotive performance valvetrain manufacturing were involved with.
Should have 1/2 dozen sets here today.
Good stuff.
That said, we have stayed with the Moco "B" lifters for quite some time.

Here's a question Scott. You have advised, and I have followed, putting the pushrods 3 1/2 to 4 turns down into the Harley B lifters. (.150ish)

Should we do the same with the Morel/Woods? Or do more like .100ish?

Also, do Woods lifters have a single flat for the roll pin? Two flats like Morel? Where does one aim the lifter's oil port? Front on front, rear on rear?

 

By all means follow Scott's advice, but here's my ovservations on lifters. Any lifter that needs special settings to be quiet out of the 50% range is likely junk. In essence, one is trying to find a tigher spot in the bore/piston fit to have the least leakage. It should be the same clearance from min to max adjustemt and should be silent all the way through unless it has a million miles on it. This is why I chose HQ black opps, since each one is leak down tested. This , at least rules out some of the mass production tolerance that can vary between batches.
Oil holes can be pointed any way you wish, but if you plan on r&r ing them at some point it's best to put them in so the original wear positions can be matched. I chose out on all of mine, but all in is ok too.

Ouch! $260 retail?

 

If they did work. And last.

I wonder what HQ Black Opps cost? Hate to bother them for just wondering.

 

40 bucks each.

Ron, Morel and Bobby's lifters are directional. The oil hole is NOT on the side like all the other lifters.

 

Never saw one but take your word for it. The only reason it don't matter with the Harley lifter is because it's stepped on the barrel. Oil fills the step and finds the hole regardless of where it is.
So you saying Wood's an Morel are straight body lifters? If stepped, they are still non directional in regards to oil flow.

JMHO, but a set of new B`s with limited travelers is as good as it can get and a $9 Eaton lifter from Kragen Auto with limited travelers is right up there with the B. Less than $20/each and if you do have a problem with one, just replace it.
