In the past we had this discussion. I've bought some high quality lifters from USA, made from tool steel I suppose. 400$ they've cost..... and started to fail. On 3 of them, the very center does show

This is well covered in many engine-building books & I've discussed it at length with several camshaft engineers over the years. It's my understanding that the lobe should have a very slight angle gr

This may be true for American engines. All European engines have no angel in the Cam shaft. And all the tappets, lifters, rollers, are flat. Dead flat. No light with an edge on it. So maybe this is j

FOT, I recently did a good deal of research into cams and lifters for the wet liner engines and I believe the results are accurate for all Triumph in-line engines. Don?t know about the V-8?s in Stags

The reason for a slight angel on the lifter is to keep it from digging into the ramp on the cam lobe due to an aggressive acceleration design. Typical American (cannot say what European mfg. does) li

I do have original stanpart triumph Tr4 lifters which I've bought years back . They are flat no crest. So my thought is that the factory wants them flat. I say if a lifter fails is caused by a lack o
