Our BLE Solid Lifters have specific enhancements over the factory and
aftermarket hydraulic units. Only the finest 8620 Aerospace and 4130 chromoly
steel is used to manufacture this product. Each assembly incorporates a
fine-threaded lash adjuster, which features a radiused pivot head, built to
exact OEM tolerances for use with the factory rocker arm. The lash adjuster is
heat treated to increase surface hardness for maximum durability & wear
resistance. It is locked in place to the lifter body using an 18-8 SS jam nut.
The lifter body is cryogenically treated and its outside diameter is precision
machined to match the cylinder head slot and oil passage clearances.
Furthermore, the assembly is then chemically coated with black oxide for
lubricity, corrosion protection, and improved wear & anti-galling
characteristics.
The solid lifter conversion replaces the factory hydraulic lifters and comes
with all necessary hardware for a straightforward installation. These
Conversion Kits are perfect for anyone upgrading the factory valvetrain and/or
camshafts in their sport compact. The main reason we designed this product is
pure and simple... Horsepower. A solid lifter valvetrain is more consistent,
opens to a greater extent, and closes faster than a hydraulic setup. This
translates into better control of the valvetrain, as well as more duration spent
at higher flow valve lifts. In essence, more high rpm power is found by
eliminating the physical "collapse" (and resulting power loss) experienced by
hydraulic lifters at certain rpm thresholds and valvespring pressure levels.
The stronger your valve springs, the sooner this collapse will occur with
hydraulics! Likewise, fluctuations in oil pressure will affect the operation of
your hydraulic lifters, not so with this solid lifter conversion. As a result,
the BLE Solid Lifters allow for higher spring pressures to be run, as well as,
more aggressive camshaft lifts. So go ahead, REV IT UP!
In race
applications, where the engine is operated for shorter durations, and undergoes
closer inspection intervals, a simple "splash" lubricated rocker pivot is
acceptable. However, for street & daily operation, where constant surveillance
is both unlikely and cumbersome, a steady flow of oil to the rocker is highly
recommended for obvious reasons. With that said, our Solid Lifters incorporate
an oil feed with a restrictor to lube the rocker, while functioning
similar to the "controlled" bleed of the OEM hydraulic units. Other solid units
on the market, with unrestricted oil (passages) release the full pressure of the
engine's oil system, which can effectively lower the oil pressure excessively.
Fits: Eagle
Talon, Mitsubishi Eclipse, Plymouth Laser, and Galant VR-4 91-92.
(4g63 Turbo Motors only)
TECH TIP: This is a full set! The set includes new BLE lifters to
completely replace all your stock lifters.
