Technical Adjustable valve lifters

Anyone who can recommend a supplier of adjustable vakve lifters for the flathead v8. Have heard some going loose while running, which i would like to avoid.

There is a thread on the "Ford Barn" about this. It seems the the company that made the original "Hylift Johnson's" is still around and producing lifters. There's a guy over there that builds lot of high-end engines (including flatheads), and he uses them by the "tray". If you're a member over there, look around and I'm sure you can find the thread. If not, get back to me here. BTW, these days I think they only make the solid body lifter and not the hollow ones. Unless you are an "all out" racer, that shouldn't be a problem for you.

 

Might try H&H flatheads.
Red's Headers use to supply a good set.

 

Ok. Thanks. Im not a member. And not into performance engines. But there is alot on ebay, but its russian roulette.

Reds headers have the good ones. Or buy Johnson's from the same company that's made them from the beginning.

 

Or . . . weld the tops of the lifters with "Stellite" and make a jig up ,to slice a little off at a time .will get you as close as needed ,with the added bonus of no valve bouncing. old skool.

 

"BURN OUT BOB" has the best advice. GOSFAST (who I was referring to in my earlier post) really knows his stuff and has been very helpful to me in the past.

 

Thanks. I just sendt him a message earlier. Thanks all.
