What is the difference between solid lifters and hydraulic lifters?

Solid lifters, also called mechanical lifters, do not have an internal mechanism to adjust for valve lash. They require periodic manual adjustment. Hydraulic lifters use oil pressure to automatically maintain zero valve lash, offering quieter operation and less maintenance.

Why is EDM oiling important for these lifters?

EDM oiling creates precise, small holes in the lifter body that help direct oil more effectively to the valvetrain components. This updated oiling system can reduce wear and improve the overall reliability of the valvetrain, especially under demanding conditions.

Do these lifters come with any hardware or pushrods?

This product is a set of 12 solid lifters only. Pushrods, rocker arms, and other valvetrain components are typically sold separately and should be chosen based on your specific engine build and geometry.

Product Details

This is a set of 12 COMP Cams Performance Series EDM Solid Lifters, designed for Big Block and Small Block Chevrolet engines, as well as Cadillac, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac applications. Solid lifters, also known as mechanical lifters, are a key component in your engine's valvetrain, directly controlling the opening and closing of your intake and exhaust valves. They require periodic adjustment to maintain proper valve lash, which is essential for optimal engine performance and longevity, especially in performance builds.

These lifters feature EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) oiling, a process that creates small, precise oil holes. This updated oiling system helps ensure consistent lubrication to the valvetrain components, reducing wear and improving reliability compared to standard lifters. The solid design means they are built for high-RPM operation and are a popular choice when rebuilding or upgrading the top end of a performance engine where precise valve control is needed.

This set includes 12 lifters, which is typically what's needed for many V8 engine configurations. If you're working on a performance engine build that demands precise valvetrain control and improved lubrication, these COMP Cams lifters are a solid option.
