Valve Lifter, Hydraulic

Stock replacement. Each.

Manufactured by Eaton Automotive in Mexico and supplied through Elgin Automotive, these are the only lifters manufactured to Ford specs and Eaton is Fords exclusive supplier.

Elgin Pro Stock lifters are engineered and manufactured by the OEM suppliers to give you the peace of mind that when you purchase an Elgin lifter it is an exceptionally designed product that is held to the highest quality standards demanded by the original equipment manufacturers. Oil metering valves are tailored to the specific engine application to deliver precise lubrication of the overhead valve train components. The ball design check valve provides outstanding response and reliability. Plunger and check ball springs are precisely balanced to allow uniform operation at high speeds.
A few common sense tips that should be noted:
NEVER, EVER re-use old lifters when replacing the camshaft!! This is a recipe for disaster and will wipe out a cam very quickly. Use a reputable pre-lube and apply generously to all mating surfaces to prevent wear and tear on break-in. 19578-3 engine assembly lube or similar is recommended for use on all lifters and cams. Adhere to original equipment specifications for lifter pre-load for hydraulic lifters and the camshaft manufacturers recommendation for valve lash on solid lifter applications. Make certain that the lifter bores are *true* and the lifter spins evenly during and after break in period A sticking lifter in a worn bore is a leading cause of camshaft failure. These tips will help ensure the lifters performance, reliability and durability. Hydraulic lifters require proper pre-load. Correct pre-load should be set at .020" - .060". On an adjustable valve train, first, tighten the adjusting nut while spinning the push rod. When you feel a slight drag on the push rod, this is *zero-lash*. Next, turn the nut one-half to one full turn to achieve correct pre-load, which will vary depending on the lifter manufacturer and the thread pitch of the stud. Using a dial indicator is the best way to check proper pre-load. On a non-adjustable valve train, use an adjustable push rod and tighten the nut to zero lash. Check the length at zero lash and use push rods that are .020" - .060" longer to get to proper pre-load. Following these procedures will help to avoid excessive valve train noise due to insufficient pre-load and many other performance issues caused by too much pre-load. Solid lifters require a lash setting that is determined by the camshaft manufacturer. Always use the manufacturers recommended settings Most camshaft manufacturers will use a *hot lash* setting. When setting lash, tighten the nut until a there is a slight drag on the feeler gauge to determine the correct lash setting. After the engine is hot, repeat this step as the measurement will change depending on the material of the head and block.
