Broken Lifters

[brookester]

Any idea what might cause this?

[neil68]

Are those CB lifters?

[brookester]

No. I think they are the Empi version of Lube-a-Lobe. I won't be buying those again.
I was looking into the CB Light weight lifters for a replacement for my turbo motor. Can't afford Udo lifters now.

The lifter bores look perfect. No galling or marks at all.

two piece lifters w/insert and snap ring.
Looks like they got carried away cutting the internal snap ring or exterior oil flow groove.

No. I think they are the Empi

'nuff said.

Hopefully there's no additional damage.]

[brookester]

I'm gonna check the springs to see if they are floating the valves.

I concur, ideally the snapring groove wouldn't be made at the same height as the oiling groove.

[brookester]

That makes sense.

Call Shag -- he has some tool steel ones that are a little cheaper the udo's -- remember they need a billet cam to go with them

Ummmm...
Tool steel lifters work on cast cams or billet or hard welded cams.
Roller lifters call for billet/hardened cams due to the surface loading.

Thorstens lifters show up all over... His inserts are also available for T4 or T5 case use.
He is also a member here and if in Europe, one should buy direct.
Shag carries them in the US.
