Delk, is the one that made a roller lifter fit, but there is a refinement rib that the tie or T bar has to go underneath before the two lifters can be attached. This brace, that's up near the head surface of the block prevent then from being installed as a pair.Alex22 wrote:Typically on those lifters you would have to turn one of the lifters inline with the bar and the T piece on the lifter will then fit out the slot. Would you be able to put the lifters in before the cam and turn the engine upside down to put the cam in or is the cross bar still in the way?

they are installed after the cam is installed. having to install the 2nt lifter in the same plain as T bar wouldn't be a problem. Wither the T bar would hit the re enforcement before the lifter can slide down the hole...........well that were i thing the problem would come in.
Not having the cam in there, so the lifter can fit farther down in the hole my not even help the situation
Delk is the only one that has actually put his hands on the roller lifter in the block, so hopefully he see's your post and can add more to this then I...............................................................
