SDPC Tech Tips: Performance Lifter Selection 

Just a few vids in to your library, a gold mine!! Thankyou so much!!

Excellent dissertation on lifters. Thanks, Nick.

Thanks we’re building a B&M 142 supercharged engine, always checking on the updates 👍 thanks for sharing with us

Dude sounds like he's going to go into cardiac arrest

Great overview

thanks again!

The Pontiac flat hydraulic that was used with their 041 RA/IV camshaft and valve train in 69/70 was capable of keeping track of the valves at over 7,000rpm.Went there with my crate engine many times on the street.’64 LeMans.There were many more parts inside,tho,to basically lock them up.

I went with the Johnson link bars on mine. I was expecting them to be a little noisy but really havent noticed them yet since Im just starting tuning,

Them big boy lifters have been around since the 90s. My hp 500 boat motor uses them

TY

Good info fast

have a small block roller motor 1990. need lifters using for my boat . cam is a xm-276-hr. lift is 503 intake. 510 exhaust. . what lifters can i use. . thanks

So my question is can you run the ls7 lifter in a l31?

Love the info but take a min to get some air lol

Hey, Great videos, I have a stock 5.3. I'm interested in your SDPC Tow camshaft, 207/207-480/477-115. Can I used those lifters that are attached to each other and discord the trays? And use stock or better rockers and pushrod? If so, could you send me pat #'s? Thankyou Again, Dale

Can the ls7 work in a original SBC Chevy roller motor

Hi mate, which way do the holes point on the LS7 lifter

The GM LS7 lifter set (16) now is well over $400.

If I use the LS7 lifter in a totally stock 2005 5.3ls will I have to change the pushrods? If so, what would you recommend?

are the link bar,roller lifters good for an everyday driver? i wanna build a 400,small block for a tow motor for my van. how many miles would they last,hopefully.

Have had 4 Chevy LS engines one 2002 5.3 and and one 2009 5.3 both these engines were bought used bought a new GM performance LS2 6.0 engine in 2008 and a new GM performance LS3 6.2 engine in 2021 they are all maintained very well with oil changes and maintenance they are not beat on constantly but at times they are driven or revved hard l haven't had a lifter related failure in any of them and the 2009 5.3 has 150,000 miles on it you'd never know by driving it it still runs as good as new so far no ticking smooth and quite don't know exactly what lifters are used on GM LS performance crate engines but I've have revved them numerous times to 7200rpm with out any problems with a aftermarket or upgraded hydraulic roller camshaft with matching valve springs and l believe the GM performance LS crate engines don't even come with LS7 lifters just stock lifters but l could be wrong

@SDPC I just ordered the l83 afm delete kit from you guys and paid for the ls7 lifter upgrade....does that mean i got hoodoo'd and got the same std lifters or did i get a true upgrade ls7r lifters?

Is Kurt Urban still there?

3800 uses them also

Ls7 & ls3 have the same lifter

If I change my camshaft to a higher lift, say a .580 lift can I still use stock springs and valves or can you recommend a good setup to use for that lift? Thankyou Dale

But why do they go bad in GMC 5.3 liter?

You left out that the LS7 lifter is a drop in service replacement for the GEN ll LT1 / LT4 “‘92-‘96” Gen 1 SBC 87 and up with factory roller cam’s. But of course you guys like to forget these engines exist…

BREATHE !!

Then why so many part #’s ??!. It’s so damn confusing when ordering or looking for lifters You got 17122490 , 12499225, or 12648846 so what is the difference ? Video idea.?

I just ordered a cam and it has ls7 with dual titanium springs🥲

Good info, but tell your sound guy I'm gasping for breath listening to this

Good itel. Thatnk you. However, your audio guy needs a lsson on audio compression.

btw, it's spring force not pressure. otherwise, good stuff.

Thanks for the information but breathing through the microphone is annoying use a foom over the microphone please

Take a breath, man..

bro your microphone is too clear, your breathing is more clear than your words. Throw a rag over that microphone!!

We’ve got a heavy breather on line 1. I repeat we have a heavy breather on line 1

Darth Vader

Nope.... as soon as he mentioned Comp lifters I knew he didn't know what he was talking about. BEST cams in the world, WORST roller lifters in the world! I'm an idiot, because it took replacing 5 sets of them before I learned NOT TO USE Comp cams lifters.

Bro... I didn't realize how breathing is such an important part in making sentences. Move your fucking mic!

So hard to pay attention to the information in this video. This guy has breathing issues

I do not have faith in anything made these days.

Free Shipping on 12499225 from SDPC ($395.08) Hopfully I got the correct. Missing the information in this video. I know the price changes, as of Dec of 2022.
