What is the difference between hydraulic roller and flat tappet lifters?

Hydraulic roller lifters use a roller to reduce friction against the camshaft lobe, which can lead to improved valvetrain longevity and smoother operation. Flat tappet lifters have a flat surface that slides directly against the camshaft, creating more friction.

Do these lifters come with everything needed for installation?

This product includes a set of 12 OE-style hydraulic roller lifters. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for any additional components or hardware that may be required for your specific engine rebuild.

Are these lifters compatible with aftermarket camshafts?

These lifters are designed as OE-style replacements. While they may work with some aftermarket camshafts, it is always best to confirm compatibility with the camshaft manufacturer to ensure proper valvetrain geometry and performance.
